In the R FAQ I find the following entry explaining that R no longer has   
problems with memory.

http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#Why%20does%20R%20run%20out%20of%20of%20memory%3f

However in my installation: R Version 1.2.2  (2001-02-26)

Installed from the red hat RPM on your site on a Red Hat 7.0 i686

I get the following error when working with large data sets:

                > source("/usr/local/genex/rcluster/lib/rcluster/r/hcluster.r");
               > breadth.program("uploaded_data.txt", "average", 10)
                Read 2 items
                Read 8574 items
                Error: cannot allocate vector of size 71773 Kb
                Execution halted

Is there a way to fix this? This is running as part of the GeneX
installation so I would have to dig through to figure out how to give R
more memory.

Besides which I don't think that will work.

Thanks for any insight that you can provide.
