Problem description: While performing simple UI testing (opening perspectives, changing perspectives, examining tool tips, etc.) I am experiencing core dumps due to segmentation violations. There is no predictable way to cause these dumps to occur. Steps to reproduce: (due to seemingly random nature of the core dumps, it is difficult to explain exactly how to reproduce the problem. Here is the testing I have been doing so far during which the faults occurred: 1. Open each perspective in turn. Perpectives all appear in the short cut bar to the left. 2. For each perspective, move the mouse cursor over the buttons and icons for each view's toolbar and in the main workbench toobar and ensure that the tool tips are displayed and are correct. Found in: OS: HP-UX 11.00. Eclipse: V2.1 Build Id: 200303071024 (RC2) Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1.08-021127-23:13) Comments: I will attach the error log files as they occur.

crash is in XtDestroyWidget. Looks similar to bug 31498.
Attachment 4098 [details] is a duplicate of: http://dev.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=34229 Grant please investigate the XtUnmanageChild problem.
Created attachment 4179 [details] another trap
Comment on attachment 4179 [details] another trap occurred when closing Eclipse.
I've managed to reproduce the problem (34916) on demand on another of our HP- UX 11.0 servers (pizzahut). I simply opened a brand new Eclipse shell, then opened a Java perspective, and then clicked on the Hierarchy tab. This either caused a SIGSEGV or sent the java process spinning. Unfortunately, doing exactly the same steps on the original HP-UX 11.0 server (joker) did NOT re-create the problem. I've tried to run the JVM within a debugger to see if I could get any more info on the native process that traps, but I can't get it to work (I've noted other people with similar problems on various forums on the net, but no answers). We're also looking at the patch level of the servers to see if there's anything needed. Note that I've opened another bug regarding a problem with Hierarchy (bug # 35244). Not sure if this is a coincidence or not.
Created attachment 4265 [details] log file for reproducible trap
Created attachment 4266 [details] trap info for reproducible trap
confirmed problem is present in RC3 build as well.
Have updated patches and JVM for server, and am currently attempting to reproduce traps.
I cannot reproduce this either through following the steps that broke pizzahut nor through using the build for a while. Changing to P2, to investigate post- 2.1.
I have not been able to reproduce the problem on the upgraded system. I'm willing to close this bug report and re-open a new one if the problem re-occurs.
Changing to worksforme.
Closing as agreed.
