The log file that is saved when I attempt to run a simple swing application with the JAW installed

Using Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala)
JDK 1.6.0.15

When I attempt to launch a simple Java application that has a swing GUI I very frequently get the following error output from the JRE and the Java program fails to run;

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0xb76d6d1d, pid=4028, tid=3064040304
#
# JRE version: 6.0_15-b03
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (14.1-b02 mixed mode linux-x86 )
# Problematic frame:
# C  [libpthread.so.0+0x7d1d]  pthread_mutex_lock+0x1d
#
# If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:
#   http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp
# The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code.
# See problematic frame for where to report the bug.
#

Occasionally the same program will run correctly but I would say only about 3 times in every 10 attempts do programs run correctly.

I am attaching the log file that is produced when the error occurs.

I found similar problems when running eclipse.
Since eclipse doesn't use swing, I do not have JAW installed.

Some people reported that after disabling assistive technologies, the problems no longer appeared

I reproduced this problem on Ubuntu and am trying to find the reason.
Comment 3 Ke Wang 2010-01-14 15:39:34 UTC
Postponing the initialization of ATK Bridge and adding additional sync code
fixes this problem.

Fix has been dispatched into both release 0.28.1 and 0.29.2.
