When you say "crash", do you mean it displays an R error (like "unable 
to allocate vector of length ....") or a real crash with a Windows popup?

Which version are you using?  There were some fixes to the memory 
management after the 2.3.1 release, but I haven't heard of any problems 
in 2.4.0 before this.
