Eclipse crashed when I creat a fifo file in my working directory. Eclipse
stopped to work or will not be ready refreshing working directory and hangs up.
My testing systems: 
(1) Eclipse 3.0, Intel-64-Bit, CDT 2.1, 1.5GB RAM, Debian
(2) Eclipse 3.1.1 AMD-XP2100, CDT 3.0.1, 1.5GB RAM, Gentoo
(3) Eclipse 3.1.1 Centrino 1.5, CDT 3.0.0, 1GB RAM, Gentoo

does it work if CDT is not installed?

Refreshing filelist seems to work without CDT, but crashed when I try to 
open file, too.

Sorry, I don't know what a "FIFO-File" or a "filelist" is... can you give steps
to reproduce?  If there is an error, you can tell us what it says?  If it hangs,
can you provide a VM stack trace by invoking "kill -3" on the java process?

Email from originator:

In Unix you can use a FIFO-PIPE for the IPC (Interprocesscomunication). 
For creat a fifo (fifo-filetype) you can use the command: "mkfifo test" 
in working directory, refresh file list in eclispe and it hangs up.

Please provide the stack trace file when it is hung.  Use ps to find the pid of
the Java process, and then use "kill -3 <pid>". This will produce a dump file in
the current working directory of the Eclipse process, which should then be
attached to this bug report.

"kill -3 <pid>" don't do anything !
