Hello! This is a really rare problem / bug(?). I tested around because of the mail on R-Help: Faheem Mitha <faheem@email.unc.edu> Subj.: increasing memory size I created a file .Renviron: R_VSIZE=10M without a linebreak after that line, because I thought Faheem might have forgot it. I expected, the line would not be interpreted. To my surprise R crashed at once (R-1.0.0 patched, WinNT4.0 SP6). Using the same R-1.0.0 (files on the same Server) but on a WinNT4.0 SP5 machine, it works as expected (R starts without interpreting "R_VSIZE=10M").
