Thanks to Duncan and Brian for the pointers. I was able to run gdb under
XP, but it didn't help much. What eventually helped is valgrind (on Linux
on ia32)! It indicated memory leaks, and here's how the leaks occurred:

Not from cover to cover.
I turn to use a function, I find a problem using that function, I look at
the online information for that function and I can't understand it ...

There are books about R: have you tried reading a couple (or more)?
And what training have you had in technical communication (which includes
honing your reading skills)?
In contrast, I find the Perl documentation very hard to use and
insufficiently precise, and would be surprised if many learner

Download and unpack the source, then look for the appropriate .Rd
file. For example, in my copy of the source for R-1.9.1 (old, don't work
with this!), I find C:\R\R-1.9.1\src\
Would you mind telling me how to get at the documentation source code?
Is there a - how to change the documentation document? ( I will make one
if you give me some instructions
I guess I can just edit a copy of the source and diff the original and
send the diff ?
Cheers,
Dan.

I suspect that part of the reason for having terse documentation is that it
is easier to maintain when changes are made to the code. Now that R is
more stable and mature maybe documentation could get a bit more expansive?
I also suspect that you will have a better chance of getting improvements

Yup, I think you're right. R is a volunteer project, so what needs to
happen to improve the documentation is that some capable volunteers (or
just one volunteer) step forward. It is the prerogative of the members of
R-core to decide whether to spend their time on improving documentation or
