crash log (hs_err_*.log)

Build ID: M20110909-1335 (3.7.1 candidate)

I encountered a SEGV crash during normal work with JDT / PDE. I think that I had been browsing Javadoc in the internal Web browser; then navigted back into Java Source Editor / Synchronize Perspective / Diff Editor; the crash happened when dbl clicking a Java file in the Sync view to diff against CVS.

This had been working before, so I'm not exactly sure what triggered the crash - the crash is likely unreproducable.

My host szg-qa-lx4 is a SLED 11.1 (x86_64) with Sun/Oracle 1.6.0_24 JVM.
I'm on the native console.

Console printout below, hs_err*.log attached. Let me know if any more information (such as rpm -i versions of software) is needed.

Arun, the problem is not reproducible (not much we can do here). Keep this open in case more information surfaces.

Hi, Just wanna confirm since I counter almost same error in Helios
Do you run the eclipse in a Virtual Machine?

There isn't much information available to work on this bug and the crash itself is not reproducible in Eclipse Kepler or Luna AFAIK. Its probably a bug in the pango library itself that was fixed in its later versions.

Will close this bug, please re-open if the problem can still be seen on Eclipse 4.4 and provide a set of reproducible steps.
