[R] How many records could I store in a dataframe?

2004-09-17 Thread wanr
Hi all,

I have a dataframe with 2 variables and 6,000,000 records. It seems R will 
crash when the number of record is larger than 3,000,000. How many records 
could I store in a dataframe

Which version of R, which OS?
I don't think that R crashes, but it produces an error message telling 
that the amount of free memory R has access to is not sufficient.

If it really crashes, please specify a reproducible example.
In theory, if you have access to enough memory, I think something like 
2^32-1, AFAIR.
