Arguments sent via the .Call interface are not copied. In almost all
cases, they should be treated as read-only data.
You can copy a given SEXP using duplicate. Something along these
lines (untested):
SEXP sigma_copy;
PROTECT(sigma_copy = duplicate(sigmax));
But it seems pretty clear that sigmaView is holding a pointer to
sigmaAr which in turn points to the data in sigmax.
