I am having the same problem as one Rebecca Sela(see bellow).

Instead I try to use optim() for my optimization needs but it fails
when finding the 0/0:
"
Error in optim(c(phi[, k]), maxphi, lower = 0.01, upper = 0.99, method
= "L-BFGS-B") :
L-BFGS-B needs finite values of 'fn'
In addition: There were 50 or more warnings (use warnings() to see the first 50)
"
Any suggestions?
