[Bug 1160411] Re: SIGSEGV in runtime environment when starting Eclipse runtime workbench

[Marc-Andre Laperle]

Hello,

I have been running Eclipse with webkit patched with the attached patch for months now and it does fix the crash. I also provided a way to reproduce the crash, see:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=400626#c71

The attached patch (03_adjustmentwatcher_crash.patch) is a simple backport of the fix available upstream for this bug:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119003

Is there any chance this could be accepted in saucy? What can I do to
help the process?

Bug description:
  When starting a Runtime Workbench to debug a plugin, I get the
  following error when trying to dismiss the welcome screen:

  #
  # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
  #
  #  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00007f87966c26de, pid=15716, tid=140222551627520

  # The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code.
  # See problematic frame for where to report the bug.

  This is probably related to defects #1055159 and #1086831. However, it
  seems to happen in a different frame than the other two and under
  different conditions.

  I am using Eclipse 3.8 on Raring.
