I encountered a SIGBUS error when starting up eclipse. There was nothing wrong before this, I've just turned on the laptop and the error appears:
$ eclipse

Has anyone had the same problem before? How do I resolved the problem?
Is it an IceTea JRE problem? I have tried installing the latest JDK with this: How do I install Java? but it didn't work.
The SIGBUS error in hs_err_pid4159.log is http://pastebin.com/w8YqFJE3
I've also tried this and it didn't work:
alvas@ubi:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).
