Two questions:

1. Was there a Java stack trace when you crashed? If so, can you add it? Without it I can't tell if there's an SWT problem or not.
2. The crashed thread is the Java garbage collector thread, so this is likely an Apple Java bug. Be sure to file a bug with Apple (http://bugreporter.apple.com) i

Crash is in JVM/garbage collector, so it's a bug in Apple's JVM.
