Hello,
I encountered this:

Error in png(file = tempfile(), width = 1165, height = 12983) :

In addition: Warning messages:

This is a Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition Service Pack 2 system
with 3GB of RAM.
On another system, the command works fine. Info from that system:

Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise with 4GB of RAM.
The command also worked fine on a system with only 2GB of RAM, but I don't
have further information about that system at the moment. It suggests though
that the amount of RAM is not the sole factor involved.
Sorry this may not be the most reproducible problem, but I hope this is
useful nonetheless.
