Package: r-base Version: 2.13.1-1 Severity: important Dear Debian folks,
The following command reliably freezes my system after one or two
seconds and the only way to recover is to cold reset the system.
> n = 10000
> length = 10000
> R = matrix(sample(c(-1,1),length*n,replace=T),nrow=n)
Trying this on a different system (totally different) running Debian
Squeeze, i. e. R version 2.11.1-6, I get an error message though.
> n = 10000
> length = 10000
> R = matrix(sample(c(-1,1),length*n,replace=T),nrow=n)
Error: cannot allocate vector of size 762.9 Mb
First I suspected RAM/memory problems because the RAM fills up pretty
quickly, but Memtest86+ did not reveal any errors. Additionally I am
still running `linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64` (2.6.32-31) because of bug
#613979, but that should not cause any problems.
It would be great if you could advise me of how to continue to solve
this problem.
Thanks,
Paul
