IllegalStateException when running Pax Exam

Question

I get the following exception when running Pax Exam. My configuration includes a single bundle from file system and junit and felix only. Any idea why this happens?

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Stream handler unavailable due to: null

EDIT: I'm using Pax Exam 2.5.0 and following is my configuration method.

@Configuration
public Option[] config() {
    return options(
            bundle("file:/home/nufail/mybundle.jar"),
            junitBundles(),
            felix().version("3.2.2")
    );
}

For version 4.9.2 the problem was solved by adding the following dependency to maven

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.ops4j.pax.exam</groupId>
   <artifactId>pax-exam-link-mvn</artifactId>
   <version>4.9.2</version>
   <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
