    If currentData or the Thread constructor were the issue you would see the method
calls in the unwinding of the stack. You have a NullPointerException which means you are
trying to access member data of something that was never given a value. In this case,
the only possible culprit is 'output'. Try to find where the variable 'output' is instantiated
in the code.
