Hi - When I'm trying to read in a text file into a labeled character array, the memory stamp/footprint of R will exceed 4 gigs or more. I've seen this behavior on Mac OS X, Linux for AMD_64 and X86_64., and the R versions are 2.4, 2.4 and 2.2, respectively. So, it would seem that this is platform and R version independant. The file that I'm reading contains the upstream regions
