Bug#678013: gconf2: Gconf may crash Sun JVM running Eclipse

[Gian Uberto Lauri]

Package: gconf2
Version: 3.2.5-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I use Debian at work, on my employer machine.
I need to use Eclipse and Sun JVM.

I experienced several Eclipse crashes of the JVM 

#  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00007f642fde23cc, pid=32673, tid=140068365362944
#
# JRE version: 6.0_27-b07
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (20.2-b06 mixed mode linux-amd64 compressed oops)
# Problematic frame:
# C  [libdbus-1.so.3+0x283cc]  double+0x19ac

and filed  a bug with bot  Oracle (no answer) and  Eclipse.org and the
report is https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=382704

Eclipse team thinks it is gconf related.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I avoid the crashes preventing dbus startup.


Thank you for your support.
