I'm using 8-stable i386.

Your jdk is a little old.  jdk-1.6.0.3p4_17 is current.

There's a serial port access when that menu is touched.  It causes D13 
to flash on a test board, probably just a reset on the Arduino.

Haven't seen that on xfce4.  A quick test shows that dwm... will 
take more than a quick test to figure out.

Not seen here, but there are too many differences to say why.

Excellent!

Both crashes are in rxtx, although maybe not its fault.  freebsd-java 
list denizens might be able to shed light on it.

Thanks!
