[BioC] justGCRMA memory problem

[Jianping Jin]

Dear list:

My PC has 2 GB of RAM. I set the max memory size for R equal to 2000M. But 
R stopped running when memory size reached 1 GM. Current version I use is 
R.2.2.0. I do not run into the problem with R 2.1.0. Does anyone have the 
same problem with new version of R?

> data <- justGCRMA()
Computing affinities.Computing affinities.Done.
Done.
Adjusting for optical effect..Error: cannot allocate vector of size 424868 
Kb
> memory.limit()

> memory.size()

Thanks!

Jianping
