[BioC] memory management in Win XP

[Kimpel, Mark W]

I am running into memory limits and have been unable to write the
correct code to increase the allocation size. Below is my output. I am
currently running Windows XP with 2 GB of RAM. Windows Task Manager
tells me that I have over 1GB of physical memory free so I should have
plenty of room to increase.

 > memory.size(max=T)

[1] 126066688

> memory.limit()

[1] 1073741824

> memory.size()

[1] 126033080

> memory.limit(size=1024)  #Shouldn't this increase the memory
allocation to 1 GB?

NULL

> memory.size()

[1] 126033080


Thanks,

Mark
