Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: eclipse

Hello! I have updated to Gutsy recently and I noticed Eclipse throws a
scary warning due to the new GSlice thing:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ eclipse
using specified vm: /usr/lib/jvm/java

***MEMORY-WARNING***: [12710]: GSlice: g_thread_init() must be called
before all other GLib functions; memory corruption due to late
invocation of g_thread_init() has been detected; this program is likely
to crash, leak or unexpectedly abort soon...

===============
Eclipse starts correctly, but I encountered random crashes soon afterwards, for 
example when autocomplete comes up (automatically or when asked):

~$ eclipse 
using specified vm: /usr/lib/jvm/java

***MEMORY-WARNING***: [12862]: GSlice: g_thread_init() must be called before 
all other GLib functions; memory corruption due to late invocation of 
g_thread_init() has been detected; this program is likely to crash, leak or 
unexpectedly abort soon...

==============
If I rename the library the crash complains about (cd /usr/lib/firefox && sudo 
mv libmozjs.so ~libmozjs.so) eclipse doesn't crash anymore, but it still shows 
the warning at start. (However, Firefox doesn't start anymore, so this needs 
either manual shuffling of the file or some linker script-fu to fix.)

I'm not sure if the warning and the crash are related, but they appeared
at the same time, so there you go...
