[ BUILD # : 200502222100 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.5.0_01 ] Recently netbeans crashed and I found out that one of my opened files was zeroed. The 4 hours of work were gone. I started opening file by file in a package to find if any other file was also zeroed. after opening 7th file netbeans crashed. Attaching messages.log

It seems like we have real problem on Sol10/x86. (see also issue 55939 ) Vano is it reproducible? Did it happen during one specific action, or just after some time working? What kind of project have you been working on (web, j2se, mobile, ...) ? In you message.log are excpetions, but nothing specific.... By the way do you have log from JVM ? (I saw another your issue 55939)
actually I found a way how to avoid problems. I noticed that instabilities happen when I have xmms or java media player running. I have SB Live 5.1 and OpenSound drivers. I noticed that playing mp3 file and working with netbeans is somewhat incompatable. I don't why is that but the fact is that when I don't play a music while working (It's sad to sacrifice the old habit) netbeans is a good boy, no crash at all. I'm 80% sure I can reproduce all the issues if I run xmms while working with netbeans but I'm kind of afraid not to loose my work again. If it's needed I can backup all my data and play with it.
Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do here. We cannot reproduce the problem in our test environment on Solaris x86. It's most likely a problem between the native HW driver and JVM. I cannot imagine what could be done in the NetBeans code to prevent it from happening. Please try to update your SB drivers, or try a different JDK version.
Sorry, but this is problem of layer drivers-OS, as Honza said, here cannot be done anything - closing.
