Eclipse will not start

[Jonathan Berry]

Hi all,
FC5T2 x86_64 + updates as of a few minutes ago.  Eclipse will not
start.  The spash screen comes up and just sits there.  ps ux shows
eclipse and java running, but they don't seem to get anywhere:

/usr/share/eclipse/eclipse -name Eclipse -showsplash 600
/usr/share/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.platform_3.1.1/splash.bmp

setenforce {0,1} doesn't seem to matter.  Both ways I get several "
avc:  granted  { execmem }" messages in audit.log for "gij".  No
messages on the console when starting it there.  Any ideas?  Anyone
else see this?

I'll bet it's this:

Hmm, perhaps.  The end of the report suggests that it might be a
pthreads or kernel bug, yuck.  Beagle seems to not be working either
as is noted in some of the comments.  That possibly might explain the
whole slew of programs that are just not working on this system. 
Anyone have any suggestions of how to troubleshoot this?
My previous kernel got uninstalled when yum updated me to the current
one (?), so I cannot go back and check that.  As well, rpm does not
want to let me install the older kernel (?).  I do still have the
original FC5T2 kernel, perhaps that is worth a try.

Mono apps hanging definitely seems to be related especially if it a
locking/thread issue.  Both mono and java use threads for the garbage
collector.  An strace shows tomboy stopping in a futex call.

I added a bug, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=179304,
for the mono apps problem.

I've seen similar, it could be

Right.  Reverting to older kernels fixes this problem, so I presume it
is a kernel bug.
