[Rd] R process killed when allocating too large matrix (Mac OS X)

[Marius Hofert]

> Can you elaborate on "leads to R being killed"? You should tell to the killer not to do it again :).

Hi Simon!

Sure, but who do you tell it if you don't know the killer?
This is all the killer left me with, the 'crime scene' if you like :-)

> m <- matrix(0, 90000, 100000)
Killed: 9

My colleague Wayne Oldford also tried it on his Mac machine and
apparently the killer went further down the hallway to his office
now... so scary. Here is Wayne's sessionInfo():
