It used (at least) to be possible to save a workspace that needed more memory to load than it occupies and so you could hit the maximum memory allocation when trying to load it. If the .Rdata file looks comparable in size with the RAM (and remember .Rdata is compressed) it might be worth increasing --max-mem-size on the command line and trying again. -- Brian D.
