1. In a workspace with a lot of plugins (I had all of org.eclipse.ui.*)
2. Open the Open Type dialog
3. Start typing and deleting characters

Eventually you can get the following exception:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2007-05-10 14:51:42.359
!MESSAGE An internal error occurred during: "Progress message refresh".
!STACK 0
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.eclipse.ui.progress.UIJob.run(UIJob.java:76)
	at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:55)

That's it.  Not much to go on regarding where the real error is.
