No, I can't.  The crash was low-occurrence and I don't want to downgrade
a (mostly) stable app. (No crashes yet with the Sun VM) - especially
because crashes can affect the server's idea of my ratio due to missed
updates.

More importantly, If "azureus as shipped with ubuntu works fine" then
how would it help find the problem with the OpenJDK VM?  Wouldn't an
using app that does crash with it be how to find where the error is?

Bug description:
After many non-contiguous weeks of working fine, I discovered the following error in the terminal from which I launch Vuze when I woke up today:

# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

Note that I thought I was using the Sun VM, and am now, but the bug seems rare enough that I wouldn't be able to repro it on demand anyway.  This report is only (hopefully) an additional datapoint to help track it down.
