We encountered the following traceback over the weekend.

2020-09-19 16:54:29.696+0000 [id=2750046] SEVERE h.i.i.InstallUncaughtExceptionHandler$DefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler#uncaughtException: A thread (GerritMissedEventsPlaybackEnabledChecker thread/2750046) died unexpectedly due to an uncaught exception, this may leave your Jenkins in a bad way and is usually indicative of a bug in the code.

Looks like the problem is createListener can throw an Error exception that is not being caught in the doRun routine.
