Dear R-users,

Let me ask about the 'stack overflow' error which I got when I used the function 'combinations' in "gtools".

The following is what I did:

---------
library(gtools)
options(expressions=1e5)
combinations(500, 3, 1:500)
# or combinations(400, 2, 1:400)
Error: protect(): stack overflow
---------

How can I overcome this error? Is there perhaps any other function to do this more efficiently?

R --help lists a flag that you can use to increase the size of the protect stack. It is also described in `An Introduction to R'.
