As it turns out export MALLOC_CHECK_="" does the trick.
As
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/libc/Heap-Consistency-Checking.ht...
points out:
"Another possibility to check for and guard against bugs in the use of malloc,
realloc and free is to set the environment variable MALLOC_CHECK_. When
MALLOC_CHECK_ is set, a special (less efficient) implementation is used which
is designed to be tolerant against simple errors, such as double calls of free
with the same argument, or overruns of a single byte (off-by-one bugs). Not all
such errors can be protected against, however, and memory leaks can result. If
MALLOC_CHECK_ is set to 0, any detected heap corruption is silently ignored; if
set to 1, a diagnostic is printed on stderr; if set to 2, abort is called
immediately. This can be useful because otherwise a crash may happen much
later, and the true cause for the problem is then very hard to track down."
So I set MALLOC_CHECK_=1 and, while eclipse runs properly, get flooded with:
*** glibc detected *** /media/WS6L-Extern1/Downloads/eclipse/eclipse: free():
invalid pointer: 0x0b182928 ***
*** glibc detected *** /media/WS6L-Extern1/Downloads/eclipse/eclipse: free():

invalid pointer: 0x0b3a0410 ***
*** glibc detected *** /media/WS6L-Extern1/Downloads/eclipse/eclipse: free():

What gives ?
