Getting "This ResultSet is closed" exceptions

I have some code that works most of the time, but I left it running
overnight and at 3am I got the "This ResultSet is closed" exception on
the "while (rs.next())" line in the following code:

            ResultSet rs = getPerformancesOnVenueStmt.executeQuery();

            while(rs.next())
            {
                Performance performance = parseResultSet(null, null, rs);
                if (performance != null)
                  retList.add(performance);
            }
            rs.close();

The method "parseResultSet" does not close the result set, it just
does the various "rs.get..." calls and creates a Performance object.

Is it possible that another thread doing a commit on the same
Connection could cause this?
