NullPointerException on edit page

user created a page, and when they click on edit they get a NullPointerException. If I click on Edit then everything works fine. I deleted the page and then created a new page that was virtually the same (same name, body text as similar as memory allowed) and now he is able to edit the page no problem. Stack trace is included:

Cause:
java.lang.NullPointerException

Stack Trace: [hide]
