I'm not sure I understand what you are reporting. One thing to keep in mind is that how memory released by R is handled is OS dependent and one will often observe that after R frees some memory, the OS does not report that amount as now free. Is what you are observing preventing you from getting things done, or just a concern that there is a leak that needs fixing? It is worth noting that the internal handling of character vectors has changed in R-devel and so IMO testing there would make sense before persuing this further, I suspect your results will be different. + seth -- Seth Falcon | Computational Biology | Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center BioC: http://bioconductor.org/ Blog: http://userprimary.net/user/ ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
