That error message comes from deep inside the compiled code for the R interpreter. It may indicate that calls are nested too deeply or an infinite loop or ... We can't really tell without a reproducible example. (When an R object is created inside compiled code it must be protected from garbage collection and this is done by putting its address onto a structure called the protection stack. When the object goes out of scope it is unprotected. Like most such structures the protection stack has a finite capacity.) ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
