title: Why do I get an error of can't make a table of more 2^31 elements in R
body: <p>Hello I have a dataframe <em>record</em> in R of dimension  8 obs 60 variables , with the missing values replaced by NA and the other values being words.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to tabulate the dataframe like this <code>feeds&lt;-table(record)</code> I get an error saying :</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error in table(record) : attempt to make a table with &gt;= 2^31 elements
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Some sample elements/structure of my dataframe are</p>
  
  <pre><code>INC - CORP Application Issue    INC - CORP Issue    INC - PC Software Issue
  Affected User                   Affected User       Affected User
  Attachment                      Attachment          Attachment
  Description / Priority          Business Critica..  Configuration Item
  Knowledge Search                Client ID           Contact Info
  NA                              Description / Pr..  NA                      
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't understand the error as the elements in the dataframe are clearly not even close to 2^31.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your time.</p>
