I often find myself trying to get a quick assessment of how much of one vector

some sort of identifier, like a client id number or an SSN. I typically do this:

table( DF1$Identifier %in% DF2$Identifier)

This will return a count of True and False logical responses. However, 
sometimes when I try to do this my computer will freeze and I am unable to stop 
or escape the process, requiring me to shutdown R via the task manager. I was 
wondering if anybody else experiences this and, if so, why this might be 
happening.

No, I've never seen that.

If you ever find a reproducible example to trigger that, please post it to the bug list. (This might be a little hard if you've never posted there before; due to abuse by spammers, we need to authorize each user manually. But at least we only need to do that once per user.)

If you can't make this happen reproducibly, it probably won't get investigated.
