JVM crashes running eclipse with SIGSEV soup_session_feature_detach

[Francesco Astegiano]

Eclipse was working fine before last openjdk update (Sun, 31 Mar 2013, version 7u17-2.3.8-1ubuntu1). Now I have random jvm crashes whith the following trace and attached dump.

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

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

Suggests that this is a bug in Libsoup or Eclipse itself rather than OpenJDK.

Had the same problem. Using Eclipse, triggered the crash via content assist. And Groovy Grails Toolsuite, crashed straight away.
