Could a tcp issue be causing a null pointer exception?

The client's app gets a 'suspend error' which they say is due to a null pointer exception. Application people say nothing's wrong with the app. Network people say the network's fine. I'm supposed to see what's wrong with the system to be causing this error. I checked the NIC card settings, which look fine. I don't know what else to check. Personally, since this seems to be the only app malfunctioning I can't help but believe the problem's on their side, but I'm not in charge here--
Box is running Solaris 8.
I'm not so optimistic as to expect a solution from this, just someplace I can tell them I'm looking.
Thanks!

I agree that this sounds like a client application issue, however cover your basics: make sure the OS patches are up-to-date, verify there are no errors logged in /var/adm/messages, verify there isn't a duplex mismatch (netstat -in), etc.
