Google Android Development Tool crashes periodically on Linux host...is this normal?

Question

I'm running the Google Android Development Tool (Build: v22.3.0-887826) on a 64-bit openSuse 13.1 Linux on a laptop with 4gb RAM and a 2.4ghz processor. The Android Development Tool installed with no problems automatically and also updates fine from Google servers. It runs great except that it crashes every 20 minutes or so. The crashes do not coincide with when I am building an application, or running the device emulator. Typically I'll be editing text in a file when the entire tool set goes away...doesn't lock up, the development tool window crashes and I'm left looking at the desktop. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks in advance for helpful, on-topic responses.

Got it, this bug has been reported to ADT developers as well as previously documented here on stackoverflow. Current workaround is to start eclipse from the command line with,

./eclipse -vmargs -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla
