With a custom compiled kernel, I've run R processes that used more than 5GB
of RAM on a Linux box with 8GB RAM and dual Xeons. So it seems to work on
32-bit Linux with big memory kernel.

Sorry. I need to retract my claim. There seems to be a 3G limit, even
though the OS could handle nearly 8G. (I can have two simultaneous R
processes each using near 3G.)
On another note, on our dual Opteron box R (compiled as 64-bit) could easily
use nearly all the 16G in that box (that's one
I have a loop that increases the size of an object after each iteration. When the
Windows Task Manager shows Mem Usage about 1.8GB, the Rgui.exe process no longer
responds.
I use:
C:\Program Files\R\rw1080\bin\Rgui.exe --max-mem-size=4000M --min-vsize=10M
--max-vsize=3000M --min-nsize=500k
Could you compile up and try R-devel (see the FAQ)? It probably will cope
with more than 2Gb, and I've run it up to 2.5Gb.
Note that an effective limit of 1.7Gb is mentioned in the rw-FAW.

S-Plus has a similar feature. I once had a simulation that ran
for months. I programmed the simulator to store intermediate results
using synchronize and issue progress reports from which I could tell
how fast it was running. Every day or two, I would kill S-Plus and
restart from the
Thanks to all those with helpful suggestions about my hitting the upper memory limit.
I do appreciate the help.
Thanks,
