Hi, when I use 4.2.1, this error never occurs or occurs few times.

Recently, I updated soot from 4.2.1 to 4.3.0, and then many programs throw Exceptions as below:

Which configuration should I config for soot 4.3.0 to avoid this problem?

And I found that this error doesn't occur on windows but on ubuntu. The soot version is 4.3.0+.

According my own debugging, I found that the method SootClass.getMethodsByNameAndParamCount may introduce some bug. While it is calling getMethods(), other threads modify the methodList.
