We have mailing lists. [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be appropriate. You're still not giving sufficient information for anyone to come up with a sensible reply, though. Apologies if the tone came out a bit sharp, but allow me to remind you that the first line of the report form you used reads: "Before submitting a bug report, please read Chapter `R Bugs' of `The R FAQ'. It describes what a bug is and how to report a bug." You do have to realize that from the point of view of improving R, it simply is not very informative that there is a user who has a problem which (just?) fitted in available memory in a previous version, but doesn't anymore. > > On 06 Nov 2006 18:20:33 +0100, Peter Dalgaard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > > > > > Full_Name: Derek Elmerick > > > Version: 2.4.0 > > > OS: Windows XP > > > Submission from: (NULL) (38.117.162.243) > > > > > > > > > > > > hello - > > > > > > i have some code that i run regularly using R version 2.3.x . the final > > step of > > > the code is to build a multinomial logit model. the dataset is large; > > however, i > > > have not had issues in the past. i just installed the 2.4.0 version of R > > and now > > > have memory allocation issues. to verify, i ran the code again against > > the 2.3 > > > version and no problems. since i have set the memory limit to the max > > size, i > > > have no alternative but to downgrade to the 2.3 version. thoughts? > > > > And what do you expect the maintainers to do about it?
