[R] ggplot2 Error : cannot allocate vector of size 1.9 Gb

[Jeff Newmiller]

Because no package loads 1.9GB of data when you load it into memory, so this has to be a bug. The first thing to do when the software is acting buggy is to update to current.

Having done that, I think it is time to contact the maintainer (see ?maintainer).
