Running out of memory compiling R

Version: NetBSD 1.6.2_STABLE
Platform: i386

Statistical language for data analysis and graphics

I thought I would send in this fix I found for compiling the math 
package R. The first time I tried to compile /usr/pkgsrc/math/R I ran 
out of memory. Here is the message I got from the failed compile:
  
          <SNIP>
  model.matrix.reStruct             text    html    latex   example
  needUpdate                        text    html    latex   example
  needUpdate.modelStruct            text    html    latex   example
ERROR: building help failed for package 'nlme'

      </SNIP>

I reset my limit in my C shell like so:

# limit memoryuse unlimited
# limit memorylocked unlimited
# limit openfiles  128

and the package compiled uneventfully. Here is the output of limit:


cputime         unlimited
filesize        unlimited
datasize        1048576 kbytes
stacksize       2048 kbytes
coredumpsize    unlimited
memoryuse       unlimited
memorylocked    unlimited
maxproc         160
openfiles       128

Just thought I would send this in for anyone else that might google the 
archives.
