Description Ian Bull CLA 2011-03-31 12:25:50 EDT 
I've noticed this 3 times in the past two days. I launch the debugger, and Eclipse hangs (on Linux x86 GTK).

I'm using:  I20110322-0800

I got the following stack from jstack:

This got to a point where Eclipse was unusable (even hanging on startup). I decided to reboot my machine, and I haven't seen the problem since.  I'm not sure how to explain it, but maybe something (gtk?) was updated at some point.

I'll close this as worksforme, as it now works. If I see it again, I can re-open.
