#163 munmap_chunk() invalid pointer with Oracle JDK 7+

[Julien Carsique]

When running Eclipse with Java Oracle 7 or 8, Eclipse crashes on file edit with EclipseColorer:
Error in `/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/bin/java': munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x0000000000cd5b50

Error in `/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/bin/java': munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x000000000142fb50

Using OpenJDK, the issue does not happen.

Tried with:
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_72-b14 => KO
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0_25-b17 => KO
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.5.3) 7u71-2.5.3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 => OK

munmap_chunk():invalid pointer was coming frequently on ubuntu 14.04 and RHEL 7.0. with JDK1.7.0_72 but after downgrading to JDK1.6.0_45 it got resolved. But another java error is coming now:

Error in `java': free(): invalid pointer: 0x00007f269801ffe8
======= Backtrace: =========
/lib64/libc.so.6(+0x7d1ad)[0x7f27247431ad]
