[BioC] Error: cannot allocate vector of size ...

[M L Smith]

Hi Paul,
If you've followed that advice or you've already got plenty of RAM 
you can try the command:

memory.limit(2048)

This should allow R to use 2Gb of RAM (the max it can use on a 
normal Windows machine), rather than the 1Gb it defaults too.
