I'm getting this error consistently after increasing the memory allocation for Eclipse and Geronimo.
I'm running on OpenSUSE 10.3 x64 with Geronimo 2.1.3 on a machine with 2GB RAM. Output from 'ps aux | grep java' and Eclipse error trace shown below: - Output of 'ps aux | grep java' following PermGen crash in Geronimo. steve 4325 17.9 18.6 1474804 383908 ?
