BUG
=============
After having started Eclipse 3.5 on Karmic 32bit (openjdk-6-jre 6b16-1.6.1-1ubuntu2) and running it for some minutes, it terminates saying

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0xb7b62856, pid=24497, tid=3084424896
#
# JRE version: 6.0_15-b03
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (14.1-b02 mixed mode, sharing linux-x86 )
# Problematic frame:
# C  [libpango-1.0.so.0+0x23856]  pango_layout_new+0x36
#
# An error report file with more information is saved as:

[...]

Seems to be the bug in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=522187 , but for the bug opener, the problem seems to be gone.
Please tell me if you need more information.
