STEPS
-----------------------
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

1. Customize an Process Extension program with below sample code snippet to upload file attachment

IItem doc = (IItem)affectedObject;
String filePath = "d:/temp/test/";
ITable table = doc.getAttachments();
File dir = new File(filePath);
File[] files = dir.listFiles();
for(int i=0;i<files.length;i++) {
table.createRow(files[i]);
}

2. Compile and run this program

3. Check server log and will find the error
