I see this occasionally with frysk-gui/frysk/gui/monitor/datamodels/FlatProcObservableLinkedList Basically the exception below indicates fail-fast iterator is having it's contract broken *somewhere*. The most likely cause of this is using a fail-fast iterator to construct a loop: List bar = new LinkedList(); .. .. Iterator foo = bar.iterator() while (foo.hasNext()) bar.remove(foo.next()); In this case the iterator throws the exception due to it's contract being violated as the collection the iterator is based on is changing due to removal. java.util.ConcurrentModificationException at java.util.HashMap$HashIterator.next(libgcj.so.7) at java.util.HashMap.putAllInternal(libgcj.so.7) at java.util.HashMap.clone(libgcj.so.7) at frysk.proc.LinuxHost$ProcChanges.finit$(LinuxHost.java:90) at frysk.proc.LinuxHost$ProcChanges.<init>(LinuxHost.java:1) at frysk.proc.LinuxHost.sendrecSelf(LinuxHost.java:323) at frysk.proc.Host.getSelf(Host.java:285) at frysk.gui.monitor.GuiProc.isOwned(GuiProc.java:165) at frysk.gui.monitor.datamodels.FlatProcObservableLinkedList$ProcCreatedObserver$1.run(FlatProcObservableLinkedList.java:84) at org.gnu.glib.CustomEvents.runEvents(libgtkjava-2.8.so) at org.gnu.gtk.Gtk.gtk_main(libgtkjava-2.8.so) at org.gnu.gtk.Gtk.main(libgtkjava-2.8.so) at frysk.gui.Gui.gui(Gui.java:448) at frysk.gui.FryskGui.main(FryskGui.java:66)
