I forgot to explicitely mention that this is NOT a bug fix, but a workaround to avoid triggering the bug until it is fixed.

This only affects Linux and has only been reported by our users since Ubuntu 11.10 was released (although there is a similar bug in Glassfish - http://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH-12213). If the application crashes then it will be in either [libdbus-1.so.3] dbus_watch_handle or [libc.so.6] _IO_str_pbackfail. The dbus error outputted when it fails but doesn't crash the VM is: (process:23565): GConf-CRITICAL **: gconf_engine_get_fuller: assertion `err == NULL || *err != NULL' failed Adding a synchronized block to the select call solves the problem in our application but no calls to the Java standard library should cause a VM crash.
