Depends what you mean by "ok". If you mean objects like NumericVector, ... their destructor is responsible for calling R_ReleaseObject, i.e. let go of the protection that was set by their constructor. If the destructor is not called because R error handling does a long jump, you will get objects forever protected. So things will seemingly work, until you exhaust the memory. > I will try "signalCondition" and see what happens. > > THK
