In spite of Brian's good points,
I believe we should help the users more.
R-1.1.1 --vanilla had
rnorm(1e7)
>> Error: heap memory (6144 Kb) exhausted [needed 78125 Kb more]
>> See "help(Memory)" on how to increase the heap size.
which is much more helpful
than the
>> Error: cannot allocate vector of size 39062 Kb
that R-1.2.0 reports (much much more rarely though,
I couldn't reproduce it in a few tries !)
