Intermittently, something goes wrong in Eclipse the following problems start occurring until Eclipse is shut down:

1. Eclipse consumes 100% of one CPU core and (from the sound of it) is thrashing the hard disk
2. Submenus won't come up anywhere, e.g. File>Switch Workspace submenu or (right click on java class file)>Refactor submenu)
3. Main menu buttons start behaving like toggle buttons, and e.g. moving the mouse over the Edit menu item while the File menu is open doesn't open the Edit menu.
4. The following is getting logged repeatedly at < 1ms frequency:

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
I can't tell what causes it.  It seems to happen randomly, but possibly triggered by building.  It usually happens within several hours after starting Eclipse.
