I think he was referring to the actual 'screen' command..
but, I digress... Is there any way you can put your commands in a script
and execute them from the command line so that you see the actual memory
and GC output from R in realtime? I use the following (in WinXP) to
debug any faulty processes or detect if the job was actually completed
successfully:
(adapted for Linux, *not* winxp)
R --verbose MorningStartup.r > morningsummary-log.txt
That should yield some more results which hopefully should help you
investigate. The pertinent stuff is output to the console.

I run R in gnome-terminal. Is it what you referred as 'screen session'?

This was happening to me on Red Hat Linux when I was running huge jobs within a
screen session. By any chance are your R processes running within a screen
session? (screen is a very nice program that will keep your sessions alive
after you log out, but it was killing off my big memory jobs for unknown
reasons.)

My R process has been killed for a few times, although the system

a lot of memory. I'm wondering whether R would spontaneously kill
itself if it can not allocate enough memory?
It does not kill itself. If it was not some out-of-memory kill process of
your OS, then you may have seen some segfault. We need reproducible code and
all the details described in the posting guide.
Please see this thread about the necessary information.
