Hi,
In both R 2.13 and the SVN trunk, I observe odd behaviour with the
--max-vsize command-line argument:
1. passing a largeish value (about 260M or greater) makes mem.limits()
report NA for the vsize limit; gc() continues to report a value...
2. ...but that value (and the actual limit) is wrong by a factor of 8.
I attach a patch for issue 2, lightly tested. I believe that fixing
issue 1 involves changing the return convention of do_memlimits -- not
returning a specialized integer vector, but a more general numeric; I
wasn't confident to do that.
