The recent upgrade of Eclipse.org’s Bugzilla to 3.4.1 has revealed a bug that can cause hundreds of false incomings in the Task List. Those users who are using Bugzilla 3.4.1 and have 1000+ tasks from that repository in their task list are likely affected by this bug.   A fix for this is now available in the most recent Mylyn weekly build. Update sites for weekly builds are available on the downloads page (under 3.3 Weekly Builds):

If you have already been affected by this bug and see hundreds of false incomings in your Task List, after installing the latest Mylyn weekly build you will want to restore your last known good task list using the Task List view menu’s “Restore Tasks from History…” wizard.

Tasktop Pro users, an Early Access build that includes the fix will be available before noon pacific time (Sept 1).  Once available the build will be announced on the EA announcement task.

If you are experiencing any problems submitting changes to existing tasks, try updating your repository configuration and then try submitting again. To force an update of the repository configuration, open the Task Repositories view (Window > Show View > Other > Tasks > Task Repositories), right+click on the repository in question and in the resulting popup choose “Update Repository Configuration”.
