RTC 5.0.2 in Eclipse 451 & 452 crashes in work items view on RHEL 7.2

I'm getting consistent crashes in the Work Items View, when I pull-down the context menu and select relationships or columns.  It crashes right after I select the  relationship or the column in the popup dialog.
RTC 502
Eclipse 451, also in 452
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2, Gnome 3
I believe this is the relevant part of the core dump:
