I am using a 900 Mhz Athlon, with 512 mb ram, and windows XP. And an IBM
Thinkpad T23 also with XP and 512 mb ram. 

I don't know how to run under the debugger but I have found out that if
I save my workspace, shuts down R and reopen R with the saved workspace,
then I can run 

Data.frame(LinieID=as.numeric(names(fraktil)),"quantile_85"=unlist(frakt
il))

With no problems, and even write my data to the MySQL afterwards. 

Can it be caused by the packages RMySQL and DBI. I have tried just to
detach them before converting my list to a data.frame but R still
crashes them.
