Bug 110794 [64] Crash when pressing ENTER after having entered value in "Search" form
Reported: 2005-09-27 09:21:22 | Status: resolved fixed

SUSE Linux Professional 9.3 1 GB RAM I am starting eclipse with a minimal bash script: #!/bin/sh EXE=$HOME/local/eclipse/eclipse JAVA=/home/kjk/local/jdk-1_5_0_05-linux-amd64/bin/java $EXE -vm $JAVA -showLocation $* I am not using an external help browser. Recipe: - Select "Help Contents" from the "Help" menu - Write any word in the "Search" field - Press ENTER In 100% of the cases, Eclipse crashes with this message: # An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine: # # SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00002aaaaae4ac75, pid=17632, tid=46912501717760 # # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (1.5.0_05-b05 mixed mode) # Problematic frame: # C [libc.so.6+0x6fc75] memmove+0x85 (I will soon try to attach the .log file) The reason for my not choosing severity "critical" is that the workaround is simple: Click the "GO" button instead of pressing ENTER.
