You are trying to create an object with 1G elements. Given that these are integers, this will require about 4GB of space. If you are running on a 32-bit system, which has a total phyical limit of 2-3GB depending on what options you are running (at least on Windows), then you have exceeded the limits. It is a good idea to limit your largest object to about 25% of physical memory in case copies have to be made during some of the analysis.
