Sure. First of all, you need to post to the R-help list, not the R-devel list. Then you need to read the Intro to R that came with R when you installed it. Then you need to read the posting guide for R-help, and provide the requested information, including: how big is your dataset? what format is it in? (text file isn't very informative) what R commands have you used? (read.table() perhaps) and so on. Also, what do you mean by "crash"? R stops working? You get an error message?
