(115/213) 3153942 - stalls at run startup scripts

When starting jEdit the process hangs at 'run startup scripts'. jEdit 4.3.2 had been running fine on ubuntu 10.4 when the problem just began. The only thing I can think of that might have caused the problem wa a periodic update of the ubuntu software. I attach a log of the failed startup process. On advice from developers, schlomo, I renamed the perspective.xml file, which fixed the problem.

I think I understand the bug but I have no idea to reproduce it, do you have steps to make this bug happens ?

Hello, I think i know what might cause the hang. I recently changed the default encoding to UTF-16 and since jedit locks at run start-up scripts. Did you change your encoding too?
The workaround was a new install and the dreaded re-configuration (plugin installs and making menus for them) and all is back to normal. I just know the default encoding for text can never be changed to UTF-16. The lock will always occur. Tested twice.
