Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

If you undo several times, then hold down the redo shortcut key (^Y), sometimes Eclipse will throw an IllegalWorkbenchException (or something similarly named). It then forgets all stored redo information past that point. This leaves the current document in an inconsistent state, wherever it died.

Hitting undo after causing this exception may result in another exception of the same, causing it to lose all undo information before that point.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make many edits to a document.
2. Undo many times to go back a ways.
3. Hold down the redo shortcut (^Y) to fast-forward to the most recent document state.

Workspace log file

Log file from the workspace. Seems to be filled with stack traces that are all very similar and quite possibly all related to this bug. The log file appears to have been rotated, but this seemed more relevant than the older rotated out file.
