[R] error loading huge .RData

[Liaw, Andy]

Dear R-help,

I've run into a problem loading .RData:  I was running a large computation,
which supposedly produce a large R object.  At the end of the session, I did
a save.image() and then quit.  The .RData has size 613,249,399 bytes.  Now I
can't get R to load this .RData file.  Whenever I tried, I get "Error:
vector memory exhausted (limit reached)".  I tried adding
"--min-vsize=1000M", but that didn't help.  I also tried R  --vanilla and
then attach(".RData"), same error.

>From what I can see, the file is not corrupted.  How can I get R to load it?

System info:
R-1.4.1 on Mandrake Linux 7.1 (kernel 2.4.3)
Dual P3-866 Xeon with 2GB RAM.

Regards,
Andy
