Egit crashing Eclipse on sparc (Solaris 10)

As I noted last month, a commit from April broke on sparc running Solaris 10. Since then, I opened an issue here <http://code.google.com/p/egit/issues/detail?id=95>, two with eclipse <https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=280960 & https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=279300> and four with sun (one for each of the 1.6 updates 12, 13 & 14 plus one for the JDK 7 Early Access release - they haven't responded). The problem is quite repeatable on my environment (I only have one sparc machine to try it on). It does not appear at all on WinVista. (I do have a Solaris x86 machine, but I can't really do anything with it immediately.) Robin worked with me as far as identifying the commit that introduced the problem (2d77d30b5f5eca2b3087f1bab47fa9df2e64cd71 - Rewrite WindowCache to be easier to follow and maintain). Now I need further guidance to get this problem resolved. The current 'Release Build' (0.4.9) cannot clone git://repo.or.cz/egit.git on sparc Solaris. I'm very interested in getting this solved, if only I can get some more input from the folks who know the code. ~John
