Happens to me with versions 2.40 and 2.3.1. The culprit is this line
in src/main/memory.c:

    INTEGER(value)[1] = R_VSize - VHEAP_FREE();

Since the amount used is greater than 4G and INTEGER is 32bit long 
(even on 64 bit machines) this returns (harmless) nonsense. 

The megabyte value nearby is correct and gc trigger and max used fields are 
marked as NA already.

                          best
