Here is Wayne's sessionInfo(): > Yes, indeed, scary - since it means someone is killing R which means there is not much R itself can do about it. In fact from the syslog I see May 4 20:48:11 ginaz kernel[0]: low swap: killing pid 56256 (R) so it's the kernel's own defense mechanism. The bad thing is that R cannot do anything about it - the kernel just decides to snipe processes it thinks are dangerous to the health of the system, and it does so without a warning.
