Description

From the LogEvent interface:

    /**
     * Gets the context stack (also known as Nested Diagnostic Context or NDC).
     *
     * @return The context stack, never {@code null}.
     */
    ThreadContext.ContextStack getContextStack();

This method does return null if nothing is added to the context stack.

A MutableLogEvent is used, I suspect that it is not initialized correctly, [e-mail]?
