I did some more research and I think I've answered my own question.
So my next question is, does anyone have any thoughts about how
significant a project it would be to compile R for 64-bit windows
(using, e.g., the Portland Group compiler)?
How much of the code would need to be changed to get around the issue
with longs?
I think this is probably beyond the scope of my project but I should
make sure before I give up.
Thanks for your help!

Hello,
I'm working with a very large dataset in R on a computer running 64-bit
Windows Server 2008 Standard with 32GB of RAM. According to the R for
Windows FAQ, the maximum value allowed for max-mem-size is 4095MB. Is it
possible to run R with a higher memory limit on this system? I've tried
changing memory.limit() in the R console but it claims the system has a
4-GB address limit, which I don't believe to be the case here.
