ServerDeploymentException when deploying a war file

Question

Hi,
I am trying to migrate a small Web application from Websphere to WebAS 6.40 (Release of KW 32).
When I try to deploy the ear from the Developer Studio (2.06) to my local J2EE engine, the J2EE Server node regularly crashes and restarts. In the server.log, I see this message:
#1.5#00061BCE1602001F00000106000010E80003E27824EB9DD1#1093430573503#com.sap.engine.services.deploy##com.sap.engine.services.deploy######4352acf0f68311d8aa6800061bce1602#SAPEngine_System_Thread[impl:5]_35##0#0#Error#1#/System/Server#Java#deploy_5099##A deploy callback threw an exception while processing event      Deploy Event:

What can cause this NullpointerException?
I doubt that there is anything wrong in the application itself, since I have no problems deploying the very same war file (there is no vendor specific descriptor) in Weblogic 8.1.
Is the CSN the right place to post a question like this? Does anybody know to which system and component id to post a CSN message?
Kind regards,

Definitely yes! Your System is something with 630 or 640 and the component is BC-JAS- something (support will classify it further if possible)
