This also occurs with saucy Eclipse on Oracle JRE 7u25, but I ensured that this occurs on a clean install with supported packages before submitting this bug report.

Eclipse doesn't seem like the right package for this, now that I've thought about it more. It isn't doing anything exotic; it's the JVM that's segfaulting in libgobject-2.0.so. I'm undecided whether I think I should change this to 'openjdk-7-jre' or a 'libglib2.0' package, and more-or-less arbitrarily chose between those two. Sorry for the extra triage work.
