[R] Limit on vector evaluation

Dear R Experts,

Why I try to run this expression:

x<-sapply(rnorm(rep(10,100000),mean=9,sd=1.5),mean)

it evaluates the first 10000 values and then stops, but does not return
to the command prompt.  My cpu keeps running at 100%.  When I exit the
expression with CTL-C, I then see that x holds 10000 values.  How can I
evalute the expression 100000 times, or more if I want?

Thanks in advance.
