On a customers machine the rules report crashes, because in some, unforseen cases GetSectionParent tries to perform a Linq operation on null. One part of this issue is to prevent the crash by (one possibiity) make a null check and create a default object on null. But this is not the core of the issue here. It should be investigated why this happens and if it is an issue in HandleRulebaseLinkQueueItem (most likly!).
