[R] problem in merging

[jim holtman]

A little more information would be of use; e.g.

str(m_accts)
str(m_op)
gc()  # how much memory is currently being used

Message indicates you may have fragmented memory and it can not find
enough contigious space.  Also do you have duplicates in the ID you
are merging by so that you wind up with a much larger resulting
structure?
