OS X 10.8.5 and Debian Wheezy and Windows, XShell 0.9, Jenkins 1.509.4 and Jenkins 1.532.1 and Jenkins 1.540
I updated Jenkins to 1.540 and XShell to 0.9. Whenever I do a build I get an exception:
Started by upstream project "MyProject" build number 560
originally caused by:

If I downgrade to 0.8 it works fine again.
[JENKINS-20660] xshell: java.lang.NullPointerException from regex after updating to version 0.9

Log:
Test to verify JENKINS-20660 exists in current code
The test is not an exact duplication of the error scenario, but is close
enough to show the problem is resolved. Exact duplication would require
that a job be defined without a RegExToKill defined, then that job would
need to be executed in a Jenkins instance with the new plugin.
Adds dependency on JUnit 4.11 and Hamcrest, modeled after the same
technique used in Jenkins core and in plugins like the Git plugin.

I encountered the same problem. The work around I used was to open the job definition, then save that job definition. It appears that the latest changes to the XShell plugin do not handle updates from a previously defined job as smoothly as they should.
The same problem does not occur for a newly defined job, only for a job which was defined with an earlier version of the XShell plugin.
