Error Associating ClearCase Version

We are using RTC 3.0.1 with the ClearCase bridge. User has installed Eclipse 3.5.2 with the Rational SCM plugin and the RTC plugin. User can associate most ClearCase versions with most work items. However, one version in particular produces an error:
Error Saving Links
String index out of range: -1
Stack trace references com.ibm.team.connector.ccbridge.client.ClearCaseWorkItemOps.trimComment(ClearCaseWorkItemOps.java:533)
Other users get the same error when trying to associate this version. Other versions in the same folder can be associated successfully.
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Please submit a work item on jazz.net, and include the full stack trace
(or contact Rational Support, and they can submit it for you).
The dev team will then get you a workaround, and will get that bug fixed
in the next fixpack.
I'm guessing it is something unusual about the comment associated with
that version. One workaround would probably be to use "cleartool
chevent" to replace that comment string with something simpler.

This is probably a known issue : CCBridge with CTE : StringIndexOutOfBoundsException when you associate a checkout version to a work item, which was fixed in both 3.0.1 patch stream and main dev stream. You can upgrade to a 3.0.1.* patch release when it is released.
