Yup, some versions of Eclipse simply don't seem to be able to work with
SableVM's class library.  Not sure whether the fault is on SableVM's
side because sometimes we even observe segfaults in Eclipse's SWT code
and this IMNSHO Should Never Happen(tm).

Good job!  Starting from a fresh Eclipse installation and sometimes
changing version (for example to 3.1M1 mentioned at
http://sablevm.org/wiki/Debug ) usually helps.  Stack traces are
"normal", that is, they don't seem to do any harm.  This is again
our class library deficiency that should eventually go away.

And thank you very much for your report.  This is always very
encouraging to hear that SableVM "works for you" ;-)
