Eclipse won't die

Question

I have been having this problem ever since jdk 1_5_0_03, I now use 1_5_0_08, Eclipse is 3.2.1-1. I have a few plugins installed, but the problem is reproducible with a fresh Eclipse install, so I don't think this is the issue.
The problem itself is that when I try to close Eclipse it doesn't die -- 2 processes are left sleeping on the system, the workspace remains locked, but the worst part is that somehow they hook to the keyboard, and do not let any key events to reach X -- I have no keyboard untill the processes are manually killed (luckily, Ctrl+Alt+F1 works).
Running eclipse with strace -f, I get the following before the processes hang:

I would really appreciate any help or suggestions.
