Build 20020214

Even though the error occurred during refactoring, the stack trace suggested the 
error is in JDT Core, so I've logged it here.

1) Grab project org.eclipse.core.tests.resources from dev.eclipse.org
2) In class org.eclipse.core.tests.resources.MarkerTest, select
   method assertEquals(String, Object[], Object[]) in the content outline
3) On page one, select to delete the old method
4) Hit next.  An internal error occurs.  The page contains the
string "Internal error while creating a change object.  See log for details."

The log contained the following:
