How much memory do you have on your machine?
What happens if you start a simple java app with the same vm args?
Comment 2 Bill Hortman CLA 2007-06-22 10:06:10 EDT 
I have 2 GB of ram on my machine. I can start Eclipse 3.2 with the arguments and it starts fine and I can verify that the settings take affect under about/configuration.
Comment 3 Oleg Besedin CLA 2007-06-22 10:25:45 EDT 
Seems to be the same issue as in the bug 188968.

Could you try to run with an option "-XX:MaxPermSize=64m"? [This option will override the new default of "-XX:MaxPermSize=256m" used by the launcher]
