Hmm.  I'm not sure what those files are.  I'll find an x86_64 box tomorrow
and look into it.

Has anybody on fedora-devel-java seen this before?

Only ping worked after trying it as root.  The system was hung.  Maybe a 
check should be put in for root as an application hanging the system is 
this a critical bug reproducable with current devel i686 kernels and is 
not currently recieving attention.

Yeah, you're right, we haven't been giving it much attention but mostly
because it's not a normal use case. We are trying to fix the bugs that
will affect the most number of users first.

How does everyone feel about checking for root in /usr/bin/eclipse?  If
the user runs it from the menu system, what will happen in that case?  Is
there an easy way to pop up a message?

After further thought, I think this is a silly bandaid solution.

I would think it's just simpler to figure out why it's hanging the
system and fix that... did I miss that part of the discussion?

Andrew Haley thinks it's a kernel bug since the only way gij could hang the
system is by forking very fast (which we don't think is happening here).
