[R] R-crash using read.shape (maptools)

[Alexander.Herr@csiro.au]

Hi List,

I am trying to read a large shapefile (~37,000 polys) using read.shape [winxp, 1gig ram, dellbox). I receive the following error:

AppName: rgui.exe	 AppVer: 1.90.30412.0	 ModName: maptools.dll
ModVer: 1.90.30412.0	 Offset: 0000309d

The getinfo.shape returns info, and the shapefile is readable in arcmap. 

Any ideas on how to overcome this?

Thanks Herry
