[R] help: Error: cannot allocate vector of size 12079 Kb

[Baoqiang Cao]

Dear All,

I'm running the latest R on WinXP by using Rgui.exe 
--max-mem-size=30000Mb . After read in a huge data file to a data 
matrix, I tried to get a subset of the data matrix but failed with:
Error: cannot allocate vector of size 12079 Kb
Any tips to get out of it?

If helps,
 > memory.limit()
[1] 3145728000
 > memory.size()
[1] 842735624

Thanks!

Best,
  Cao
