  R sets two variables in the registry. They are under HKEY_USERS/Software/
  NSize and VSize. You can delete these and then it should be fine.
  
  I agree with Peter's comments about software modifying itself to the
  point where it won't run. I am working on the memory issue right now
  and hope to come up with a solution that will allow R to restart with
  a smaller footprint if there isn't enough memory available. Probably
  I should also check to see if there is enough memory available to satisfy
  a user request. That said, these things seem to be very non-portable.
