I tried out your example and it abended.

It ran through 22472 times and ended with an error message that the
instruction at 0x77f5b2ab could not reference location 0x00000028.

If anyone has a few extra CPU cycles to spare,
I'd appreciate it if you could verify a problem that I
have encountered.  Run the code
below and tell me if it crashes your R before
completion.

library(lme4)
data(bdf)
dump<-sapply( 1:50000, function(i) {
     fm <- lme(langPOST ~ IQ.ver.cen + avg.IQ.ver.cen, data = bdf,
               random = ~ IQ.ver.cen | schoolNR);
     cat("  ",i,"\r")
     0
})

The above code simply reruns the example from the
lme help page a large number of times and returns a bunch
of 0's, so you'll need to have the lme4 and Matrix
packages installed.  It might take a while to complete,
but you can always nice it and let it run.

I'm attempting to bootstrap lme() from the lme4 package,
but it causes a
segfault after a couple hundred iterations.  This happens on
my Linux x86 RedHat 7.3, 8.0, 9.0, FC1 systems w/ 1.9.1
and devel 2.0.0 (not all possible combinations actually
tested.)
I've communicated w/ Douglas Bates about this and he
doesn't appear to have the problem.

Thanks for any help.

-Frank
