Description

In the getMatches function of the RegexUtils class, the content object that gets passed in is not checked to ensure that it is non-null. When a null content is passed in, a RunTimeException is thrown and that stream is effectively blocked.

A solution to this problem is to check to see if the content is null before trying to find matches on it.
