If you are invoking R in ~/  it works as described.
file ".Renviron":

  R_VSIZE=10M  (linebreak!)

[without linebreak R-1.0.0 crashed here (WinNT4.0) :-(( ]
To R-Core: Is this a bug ???

Starting R:
[...]
> gc()
          free   total (Mb)
Ncells  205128  350000  6.7
Vcells 1197892 1310720 10.0
                       ^^^^
