      To re-produce you just need to use the https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/GitHub+pull+request+builder+plugin and not use the "cron('H/5 * * * *')" as the documentation says.

      Then, the following stacktrace is triggered:

      Jun 23, 2016 10:35:00 AM hudson.triggers.Trigger$Cron doRun

      Any cron job on the instance will work because of this issue
