Most likely your linear model fitting is too large for the amount of 
memory you have in your Windows box.  However, you should check ?Memory 
and in particular how your maximum RAM usage is set.  (I don't know how 
the `JGR JRI tools' give you access to R's startup settings.)

It may be that you are creating lots of large objects and so filling 
memory that way: try running gc() before the call to check your memory 
usage.  If so, you can remove (or save()) previous work.
