I am disturbed by the phenomenon that after a large amount of R work on my Mac I become incommunicado via my Email client. Email sometimes does not connect to a functional and sometimes its window will not appear when prompted. Restarting the Mac fixes communication. It is only after I have done considerable R programming. I have a Ti80 with 512Mb memory running OsX 10.2.3 and having installed the Jan de Leeuw Jan 22 packages. It might be associated with R script failures (i.e. my errors during script development) particularly, although I have not examined this systematically. Have any other Mac R users experienced this phenomenon. Are there memory leak issues associated with R or R script failures? Joe ----------------------------------------- Joseph G.

Memory leaks associated with R on Mac OsX

Run R with the Process Viewer application open, and watch the memory and CPU usage (and the number of R processes). --- Jan

What version of R are you using? I believe there was a memory leak discovered in R 1.6.0. -roger _______________________________ UCLA Department of Statistics rpeng@stat.ucla.edu http://www.stat.ucla.edu/~rpeng
