eclipse crashes when started with jhbuild.

Eclipse crashed when started with jhbuild.
For the first time, it started and I was able to create an existing project from source. Then it suddenly crashed with the following error:
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
# SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0xb5b6ab43, pid=17780, tid=3078952640

I have attached hs_err_pid17780.log below.

This didn't used to happen when I had sun jdk installed on my pc.

Then I tried to run eclipse again and I got 1289934515327.log (also attached)

I'm seeing this exact same bug on Fedora running the sun-jdk and using eclipse helios-SR1 64 bit version. I organize my workspaces in a subdirectory of my home directory (e.g. $HOME/workspaces/work-space-name). Some of them will open if I move them up to my home directory and others won't. I backed of to the prior version of eclipse (helios, not SR1) and got the same error. Thus, I think this is a problem in one of the system libraries used by the JDK and not by eclipse or the JDK itself. Any suggestions of work arounds would be most appreciated.

java -version
java version "1.6.0_22"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.1-b03, mixed mode)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
