I suppose I should have explicitly asked.  Is this a limitation of the
size of the number?  A limitation on the length of the string?  What is
this limit, and where is it documented?  (I probably missed it
somewhere....)

This is possibly "https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=42415". 
This particular bug is fixed in the 3.0 development stream.  The
symptoms would be similar to what you describe, and would be caused by
the installation directory being read-only.  Eclipse previously
attempted to write a small configuration directory to the installation
directory on first execution.  In the absence of this configuration
directory, it re-runs the installation at start-up.

A workaround is to install Eclipse to a directory writable by the user,
or possibly to run Eclipse once as root when the file system is writable
(i.e., at install time).
