[Gutsy] - 2.6.29.dfsg-1ubuntu2 - Crashes Eclipse & Azureus with __xmlParserInputBufferCreateFilename+0xe5

[VF]

Binary package hint: libxml2

After the libxml2 upgrade from 2.6.29.dfsg-1ubuntu1 to 2.6.29.dfsg-1ubuntu2, Azureus crashes when starting (using Sun's java runtime and an upstream Azureus) with __xmlParserInputBufferCreateFilename+0xe5.

Upstream Debian has apparently fixed this and has a workaround, would be nice if this was also applied to Ubuntu packages - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=439739

Oh, downgrading back to 2.6.29.dfsg-1ubuntu1 solves the problem.

[Christian Vogler (christian-vogler)]

I can confirm this problem. This bug also breaks eclipse. For developers, this is an absolute showstopper.

[Christian Vogler (christian-vogler)]

Forgot to add: This crash breaks both the Gutsy eclipse packages and the upstream 3.3 version.

[Jochen Kemnade (jochenkemnade)]

I can also confirm this with eclipse 3.3.1. For me, it happens, when I try to expand a projects in eclipse's project tree.
I run the current gutsy repository versions of sun's java on an amd64.

[Christian Vogler (christian-vogler)]

I can confirm that the latest libxml2 updates in Gutsy fix the eclipse crashes. Thanks for the quick turnaround.

[VF (vfiend)]

Yup, thanks developers!
