java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException

I cannot get the plugin working as I hoped.
My job configuration is:

My project at job level has different modules, my first module is called "ADOS RegressionTest 02.Enform" appearing as a top-level directory in the a job workspace, a JUnit report file is generated for each of module in target/surefire-reports/TEST-TestSuites.xml.

The (quite limited) documentation I found on the plugin homepage @ https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Multi+Module+Tests+Publisher does not help to figure out how I am supposed to configure the plugin.

Here the stacktrace:

Finished: FAILURE

Start by reproducing the failure with the shown multi-module job configuration and reports under target/surefire-reports/TEST-TestSuites.xml. Read StringReaderWriter.java:17, IOUtil.java:11, and JUnitParser.java:266 to trace the invalid array size, then verify that all module reports parse and publish without the NegativeArraySizeException.
