Description Pawel Pogorzelski CLA 2008-10-02 05:23:25 EDT 
Build ID: I20080918-0100

Proxy support code for Unix makes a call to the UnixProxyProxiver.gconfInit() method in the static block while Eclipse starts. This method is implemented in the native code and errors in its execution cause a core dump.

Since this call is unnecessary in the static block the crash can be postponed to the first IProxyService use. This will introduce an ability to start Eclipse, turn off native proxy support and avoid the crash at all.
