Original description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Connect 3G Dongle (Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E169/E620/E800 HSDPA Modem)
   (This creates three ttyUSB Devices)
2. Establish 3G-Connection
3. Start IDE or klick on "Tools" within a running IDE

The IDE does not start or the already started IDE crashes stating a "buffer overflow" followed by a Dump(attached)

Program versions:

• ArduinoIDE: 1.1
• Linux: 3.0-6.slh.5-aptosid-amd64 Add files used in Linux packages #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Oct 11 20:52:56 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11pre) (6b24~pre2-1)
  OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)

This occurs with and without connected arduinos or USB-to-Serial-Converters

Seems like an bug in RXTX, retry with IDE 1.5.6 where RXTX is replaced by JSSC.
If the bug still exists, please, create a new issue.

Thanks!
