R session aborted, encountered a fatal error when combining large rds files

[grethcool]

Hi,

I want to combine 3 large RDS files into one. Each time I run the code, my Rsession aborts and I get the error message that R encountered a fatal error.

I already tried to clear my global environment and updated all the packages, but it didn't help.

My session info:
R version 4.0.3 (2020-10-10)
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin17.0 (64-bit)
Running under: macOS Big Sur 10.16

Matrix products: default
LAPACK: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.0/Resources/lib/libRlapack.dylib

locale:
[1] de_DE.UTF-8/de_DE.UTF-8/de_DE.UTF-8/C/de_DE.UTF-8/de_DE.UTF-8

attached base packages:
[1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base

loaded via a namespace (and not attached):
[1] compiler_4.0.3 magrittr_2.0.1 Matrix_1.3-4 tools_4.0.3 fastmatch_1.1-3 Rcpp_1.0.7
[7] tinytex_0.34 stringi_1.7.5 grid_4.0.3 quanteda_3.1.0 xfun_0.27 stopwords_2.3
[13] RcppParallel_5.1.4 lattice_0.20-45

The code I want to run:

library(tidyverse)
library(dplyr)
library(readr)
library(purrr)

rds_alle_tweets <- (list.files(pattern = "*.rds", full.names = TRUE))
  map_dfr(
    .x = rds_alle_tweets,
    .f = ~read_rds(.x) %>% mutate_all(as.character))

Did someone encounter a similar problem or has a fix for it?

Thanks in advance!

How large are the files and how much RAM is available to your system?

[grethcool]

2 files which are around 100 MB and one file which is around 280 MB, so not even that big.

I have a 2 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 processor and 8 GB 1867 MHz LPDDR3.

I am also getting R Session Aborted. No detectable pattern to it. But not using RDS.
I don't know how to begin to troubleshoot but happy to run any diagnostics that people recommend.
