R help - May 2002 - Memory Usage in R -- resending with R version and systems info

To R users:

I am running an R program with .Fortran() calls, and discovered that the
memory, as reported by gc(), continues to grow with new loop iterations.  I
hadn't been able to find information on how to 'destroy' objects in
earlier
loops to keep the program size from continuous growth;  calling rm() to
remove some what I thought to be large arrays didn't seem to help.  Any
help/pointers will be greatly appreciated.  TIA

[This is R-1.5.0, on both RH linux (7.1) and SGI IRIX 6.5.]
