R-helpers:

I'm running a file search on my entire drive (Mac OS X) using:

files_found <- 
list.files(dir="/",pattern=somepattern,recursive=TRUE,full.names=TRUE)
where somepattern is a search pattern (which I have confirmed via a
unix "find / -name somepattern" only returns ~ 3 results).

I keep getting an error:

Error: C stack usage is too close to the limit

when running this command.  Any ideas on 1) how to fix this or 2) if
there is an alternative to using list.files() to accomplish this
search without resorting to an external package?

Cheers!
