Further research is necessary, the "Missing host null_0.0.0" is probably the best hint, but we don't have a testing machine available and Google doesn't bring up an immediate solution.

[Henrik Heimbuerger]

The tested build was a macosx-carbon-x86 build from rev 506. Details of the hardware architecture of the testing box are unknown, but could be determined.

[Henrik Heimbuerger]

Tested again with a build from r578, still seems to fail. The test hardware is 10.5 on an Intel Core Duo (64-bit). Modifying the code to make it run on Java 1.5 (because at least Eclipse doesn't support Java 1.6 on MacOS X yet) made the error even worse (wouldn't even show the splash screen).
