[MC-1201] Game crashes on Ubuntu 12.10

On ubuntu, since upgrading from 1.3 to 1.4, the game crashes after approx 5 minutes. This is not an overheating issue. I have the game set to 1024MB memory, have updated LWJGL, and am using OpenJDK. The entire computer locks up and refuses to accept input.

Have you tried using oracle jre?

The other user who reported this bug did. I have not personally done so, however.

I just had the exact same thing happen on Windows 7. I suspect maybe it has to do with radeon video cards?

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Just reproduced again on the windows 7 box. Will update
