Hi,

I have a problem with the memory size within R. I would like to know if
there is any may for getting back free memory during a R session. I've tried
with rm and gc but it still craches. I am working on windows R1.3.1.
I know I have big datasets, but during my study, some results are temporary,
and I would like to get back the memory allocated to this temporary object
as soon as I remove them. But, as I 've said the garbage collector seems to
have no effect on my memory management.

Please, I wait for help,

Regards,

Isabelle Zabalza-Mezghani
