Christian told me about
http://c1.complang.tuwien.ac.at/cacaowiki/EclipseIcuBug
It describes a subtle bug with icu and SoftReferences.
I checked and it hasn't been fixed in the latest icu included with 3.2
yet. More info can also be found in the the bug reports filed by Edwin
Steiner about this:
http://bugs.icu-project.org/cgi-bin/icu-bugs?findid=5183
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=139457
This probably impacts every runtime that doesn't clear SoftReferences
exactly like the runtime they tested against (which is probably all of
them...)

Cheers,

Mark
