[fedora-java] System freeze when running Eclipse as root

Hey all,
	I know it shouldn't be done, but we ran Eclipse as root.  It seemed to
freeze the whole system, mouse pointer, keyboard input etc...  No kernel
panic was produced and Eclipse runs fine as a normal user.  Is this well
known behaviour for eclipse?
