While runing R1.3.0 on a Win95 machine, a process has produced the following error: Error: vector memory exhausted (limit reached?) In addition: Warning message: Reached total allocation of 47Mb: see help(memory.size) Lost warning messages Now I cannot save the work (not too bad, I had used save.image() just prior to launch the process), but cannot quit the program:> save.image()Error: vector memory exhausted (limit reached?) In addition: Warning message: Reached total allocation of 47Mb: see help(memory.size) Lost warning messages> q()Error: vector memory exhausted (limit reached?) What should I do? Just kill R?
