The same thing that happened to my 'maptools'
(http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.general/177404)
also hits me here: It eats all memory until the system dies.
Alas, in this case, no Ubuntu package.
Since I installed some tens of packages with the same method in the
meantime, I guess something must be wrong with the install.packages; at
least on Ubuntu9.10, amd64.
(And I am not out of memory, really:
Mem: 3347584k total, 812872k used, 2534712k free, 12648k buffers
Swap: 4305380k total, 618464k used, 3686916k free, 272476k cached)
