    Ok, something is definately broken in this kernel.

    If I launch Eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org/) while running a
    2.6.16-rc5-mm1 kernel it loads for a second or two and then the box
    just locks up solid.

    I then went back to my previous kernel, 2.6.16-rc4-mm2, and there's no
    problem what-so-ever when running that kernel (everything else
    identical) - eclipse loads and runs just fine.

    Since I'm in X when the lockup happens and I don't have enough time
    from clicking the eclipse icon to the box locks up to make a switch to
    a text console I don't know if an Oops or similar is dumped to the
    console (there's nothing in the locks after a reboot) :-(

    Unfortunately I don't have a second box to use with serial console or
    netconsole, but I'll see if I can somehow get some console messages -
    perhaps by slowing down the eclipse load process somehow... I'll see
    what I can do and report back when I have more into.
    If all else fails and noone on LKML can suggest patches to try and
    revert or similar I guess I'll eventually do a git bisect, but I'd
    rather try other things first...

    The version of Eclipse I'm running is 3.1.2

    The problem is completely reproducible (well, at least it occoured 6
    times in a row and that's how many times I tried).

    Sorry for the lack of detail, but I thought I'd better report the
    issue at once and then follow up with details later :)
