Hello Stephen,
I can confirm that I get the same behavior in my Windows machine. Here
is a summary:
> memory.limit()
[1] 2046
> memory.limit(2092)
Error in trunc(.Internal(memory.size(size))) :
Non-numeric argument to mathematical function
> memory.limit()
[1] 2092
As you described, the function reports an error but it indeed modified
the memory allocation limit. This must be somehow related to the
modification to memory.limit() described in the release notes for
Windows R version 2.9.0
(http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/CHANGES.R-2.9.0)
> version
_
platform i386-pc-mingw32
arch i386
os mingw32
system i386, mingw32
status
major 2
minor 9.0
year 2009
month 04
day 17
svn rev 48333
language R
version.string R version 2.9.0 (2009-04-17)
All: is this a bug or are we missing something?
Regards,
Francisco
