IDE crash with Arduino Leonardo

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I found a bug that leads to an IDE crash when opening/closing the serial 
monitor with an Arduino Leonardo

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. open the IDE and write a simple sketch that writes something to the serial 
(I used the attached test code)
2. upload it to the Leonardo, then open the serial monitor
3. now change the serial speed: the Leonardo will be reset and the IDE will 
raise an error saying that it cannot find the board on the selected serial port
4. close the serial monitor
5. click on "Tools" in the toolbar menu: the IDE will crash

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It is expected that the IDE won't crash

What version of the Arduino software are you using? On what operating
system?  Which Arduino board are you using?
IDE: 1.0.1 and 1.0.2
Board: Arduino Leonardo R3
OS: Arch Linux

Please retry with IDE 1.5.6 where RXTX has been replaced with JSSC, if the 
problem persists open a new issue on github.
