extract augPred values from lme

[Bernd Puschner <puschner@psyres-stuttgart.de>]

dear s-plus users,

i use version 4.5 on windows 2000.
i want to extract the augPred values from a quite complex lme-model
(data has been grouped). it worked fine for a simpler model, but now i
get this confusing error message:

> sbcomp.plot <- data.frame(augPred(sbcomp.lme))
Error in model.matrix.default(fixed, model.frame(..: Cannot allocate
9102480 bytes: options("object.size") is 5000000: see options help file
Dumped

the simple command

> augPred(sbcomp.lme)

results in the same error message.


any ideas would be highly appreciated.

thanks
