SWTException when disposing a ImageHyperlink on linkActivated event.

Note, this symptom is only reproducible in Eclipse 3.4.1.  Also, defect #242902 may be related in some way, given the similarity in stack traces.

Using the below sample code, disposing a ImageHyperlink when the link is clicked (linkActivated event), the following exception is thrown:

Exception in thread "main" org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Widget is disposed

Sample code:

public static void main(String[] args) {
		
		Display display = new Display();
		Shell shell = new Shell(display);

		ImageHyperlink removeRecordLink = new ImageHyperlink(shell, (SWT.NONE | Window.getDefaultOrientation()));
		removeRecordLink.setImage(display.getSystemImage (SWT.ICON_ERROR));
		removeRecordLink.setSize(50, 50);
		removeRecordLink.addHyperlinkListener(new HyperlinkAdapter(){

			public void linkActivated(HyperlinkEvent hyperlinkEvent){

				//Dispose the ImageHyperlink:
				((ImageHyperlink)(hyperlinkEvent.getSource())).dispose();
			}
		});

		shell.pack();
		shell.open();
		while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
			if (!display.readAndDispatch())
				display.sleep();
		}
		display.dispose();
	}
