Subject: memory tops out at 1.84gb on OS X 10.4 machine w/ 5GB ram
Hi all,
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I am on 10.4 with R2.2, and when
loading a big text file (~500MB) with scan(file, what=character) I am
throwing malloc errors that say I am out of memory...I have 5GB on this
machine, and Activity Monitor tells me R is only up to ~1.84GB both times
this has happened (running from terminal)...
I am wondering why this is happening when I still have >2GB of free memory
waiting to be used...?
Any advice would be much obliged,
Ken
