The posting guide asks for a reproducible example. This is problematic
if you only have only an 80% failure rate. Nevertheless, do you have a
verbatim example that has failed at least once? If a particular
formulation fails one time for you, does it always fail or can a certain
syntax work 1 in 5 times?
If this is a mac-only problem you might get more help on that mailing list:

You should install the most recent version of R and reproduce the
problem there. When posting again, it would be helpful to supply the
results of
R.Version() for your setup.
