[R] Permanent assignments

[Gabor Grothendieck]

You may be able to get checkpoint software that will periodically
save the state of the computer, including memory, allowing you
to roll back to any point.   That would not be R specific.  I don't
know specifically where to get it but maybe someone else knows
of or uses such software.
