[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] Hanging on windows, why? tips for avoiding?

Hi All,
I've been using Eclipse PDT (R20080103) for a couple of months, and in the past couple of weeks I've had a few unrecoverable hangs. Processor stuck at 100% and the application not responding. I only left it for 5 minutes or so, but it looked just like a non responsive windows application does.


In the previous case I lost a fair bit of work because I thought Eclipse PDT was quite stable and hadn't bothered to save often, but now I do.

I wasn't doing anything exciting at the time, just text-editing a php file, although I have started to use the debugger, and probably leave it open. Memory usage for the app was about 100Mb when I looked (after it hung)

Anyone know why this happens?

  Any possible/probable causes, or things to avoid?

Thanks,

JL
