I think this is probably a Fedora problem but I'm curious if
others have seen it.
With straight out of the box Fedora 9 and Europa or Ganymede,
JEE distribution, everything is fine. One day, after running
Fedora updates, this problem started happening.
I'm using Sun's JDK 1.6u7 via a -vm argument to Eclipse.
This problem also happened with 1.6u6.
If I run Fedora updates, then Eclipse crashes after a short
while because it runs out of memory. This is with -Xmx1024M.
It worked fine before with -Xmx512M. I've reverted to a fresh
Fedora 9 image so that I can keep working but I'd prefer to run
updates because of security. Sometimes the JVM actually crashes
and there appears to be a problem with realloc().
I've tried it with a few re-installs of Fedora. It doesn't
matter if I run Fedora updates with pup or yum.
I'm thinking about switching to Ubuntu.

No. I'm using Sun's JVM (JDK 1.6u7) and I'm not using the RPM's.
I just use the simple ".bin" unpack distribution. I believe it's
glibc that's been broken (errors in realloc()). Everything works as
long as I run a fresh install of Fedora 9 and don't run Fedora updates.
If I run Fedora updates, then the libraries go bad and Sun's JVM breaks.
It doesn't break immediately. I can usually run for about 10-20 minutes
in Eclipse before either Eclipse or the JVM crashes.
I'm considering Ubuntu, hoping they haven't put a borked glibc into
their distribution and hoping they do support sshfs (which I need).

Not sure where to ask. Also, I was just asking here if anyone else had
seen it. I wasn't really asking for a solution. Of course if someone
had a solution and shared it, that would be nice.
