Description James Cuzella

Build Identifier: 20110916-0149

The internal browser in Eclipse is currently unusable!  This also affects the functionality of Tasktop, effectively making task contexts that include web pages unusable!  (If a task's context contains a problematic page, activating the task will crash eclipse immediately)

When browsing to pages such as http://tasktop.com, Eclipse crashes with no warning or logs that I can see.  Before the crash, it starts using 100% CPU.  The browser sometimes works for a minute or so on simple pages such as google, eventually I can always get it to crash when browsing to more complex pages.  This includes my company's website that I need to access every day at my job!

I'm running: 

Eclipse JEE x86_64
Version: Indigo Service Release 1
OS: Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open internal browser
2. Open http://tasktop.com
3. Eclipse crashes.  No error, no warning, no log (AFAIK)

A Browser crash on Ubuntu 11.10 with no error log generated sounds like bug 361838, marking report as a duplicate.
