Regular, not UI, bug. I have seen this exception before. It appears to be thrown from native code in the JDK. So I am not sure if it is caused by some problem in the IDE, or is simply a JDK bug. Will leave open just in case. Also it is Windows-specific I believe.
The bug is entered in the Bug Parade, see: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4280243.html Its status is Closed and Fixed. The commit should appear in the Merlin and Ladybird.
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> verified.
