If a player skull is placed in the world, and then water flows over it, it will crash the server.

The offending code is here:
// CraftBukkit start - Special case dropping so we can get info from the tile entity @Override public void dropNaturally(World world, BlockPosition blockposition, IBlockData iblockdata, float f, int i) { if (world.random.nextFloat() < f) { TileEntitySkull tileentityskull = (TileEntitySkull) world.getTileEntity(blockposition); ItemStack itemstack = this.a(world, blockposition, iblockdata); if (tileentityskull.getSkullType() == 3 && tileentityskull.getGameProfile() != null) { itemstack.setTag(new NBTTagCompound()); NBTTagCompound nbttagcompound = new NBTTagCompound(); GameProfileSerializer.serialize(nbttagcompound, tileentityskull.getGameProfile()); itemstack.getTag().set("SkullOwner", nbttagcompound); } a(world, blockposition, itemstack); } } // CraftBukkit end
Matching up line numbers, the implication is that "tileentityskull" is null, though I'm not sure why. I don't have a fix (yet?)
