Code completion causes crash

Hi everyone, new eclipse user here.

I have a situation where eclipse causes java (openjdk6) to coredump.
All that's required to trigger the problem is an attempt to use code
completion (^SPACE) in a source file.

After searching the internet for a bit, I came across this bug report:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=340998

I added the following line to my /usr/local/lib/eclipse/eclipse.ini file:

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/local/lib/libxul/

The crash no longer occurs. Is this a proper enough fix for the issue?
Any tips on deeper debugging?

I'm running 9-CURRENT (r221418) amd64 with the following from ports:

eclipse-3.6.1_2
libxul-1.9.2.17
openjdk6-b22_5

Thanks!

-Brandon
