[R] Error: vector memory exhausted (limit reached?)

[Agustin Lobo]

While runing R1.3.0 on a Win95 machine,
a process has produced the following error:

Error: vector memory exhausted (limit reached?)
In addition: Warning message: 
Reached total allocation of 47Mb: see help(memory.size) 
Lost warning messages

Now I cannot save the work (not too bad,
I had used save.image() just prior to launch
the process), but cannot quit the program:

> save.image()
Error: vector memory exhausted (limit reached?)
In addition: Warning message: 
Reached total allocation of 47Mb: see help(memory.size) 
Lost warning messages
> q()
Error: vector memory exhausted (limit reached?)


What should I do? Just kill R?

Thanks
