[jmayday]

I've seen https://github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-java/issues/5185 and https://github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-java/issues/5186 being closed already, but I'm having same issue with DD java agent 1.38.0:

Stacktrace:

Thanks for having opened (again) one issue. I just merged a fix that should hopefully avoid this specific situation. It will be released with the next minor (1.41.0)
