Can you use save.image() to rescue your results?
I would try save.image(file="salvage.RData") and see if the file appears. Otherwise I would say you're probably out of luck.
The problem is I can't get back to the command prompt, so I can't do save.image() or anything else.
It may be possible to reconstruct the state from a core dump. I say "may" with not much confidence it'll be worth the effort, but it might be possible.
Only problem is, there's no way I know under Linux to dump core and continue; you only get one shot at it.
man 7 signal on my SuSE box gives a list of which signals cause a process to dump core. After that, you'll have to find a Local Guru to pick it apart - and R's memory structures aren't trivial.
It might be easier to start again.
Hope it helps
