I had similar problems with Eclipse (not the one that comes with IDL).
I chose to just make a new workspace, instead of figuring out how to
fix the broken one. If you get the workspace selection dialog when
starting IDL, you can give it a new one. Or, if it is set to use a
default workspace, you can rename the old one (defaults to
IDLWorkspace71 on your home directory), so that a new one will be
created when starting the Workbench. Do not just erase the old
workspace directory, as that might not be the problem, and,
particularly, it may contain files you need.

i found on the Eclipse website that it was a known instability
with the glibc [e.g. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=320487]
They suggested to set the environment variable MALLOC_CHECK_=0
i did so and it works!
thanks,
ciao
