[R] Memory leak in R v1.5.1?

[Adaikalavan Ramasamy]

Hi ! I am trying to minimise a function over 2 variables simultaneously. Is
this possible ? I have only recently been introduced to optim() and
optimise() function. Here is simple example of what I tried to do :

silly.fn <- function(x,y) { (x-5)^2 + (y-2)^2 }
optim( par=c(3,1) , silly.fn )

Analytically, the answer should be (5,2) but the computer is asking for the
y value. Is there a function to do the minimisation simultaneously in S-PLUS
or R ?

Many thanks, Adai.
