32-bit Windows limits the amount of memory used by a single process to
a little bit less than 3GB. So I think you can actually create vectors
that have more than 2^32 elements as long as the total memory used by
R doesn't exceeds 3GB.

One more thing: since this is a 32-bit Windows issue, you should be able
to reproduce this locally by starting R in 32-bit mode:

   R --arch i386

Hope this helps,

H.
