The application crashes on a StackOverflow error

[Tatsi]

The application crashes from time to time on a StackOverflow error with the stacktrace see below.

The error occurs unexpectedly in various scenarios. We are not able to simulate it or predict its occurrence.

Is there any workaround for this bug in version 5? Or maybe there is a chance that this error can be solved by upgrading framework activiti version 5 to framework activiti 6?

Thank you in advance.

Full stacktrace you can find here: https://pastebin.com/9niRtryH
