As other has commented, without the rest/full of your code it is
difficult to tell... I have a few suggestions though:
- it is obviously a memory-related issue. An external pointer is partly
allocated by R and partly allocated by you - you need to check both
parts, and their individual usages.
- I think the part allocated by R is correct; you might need a few
PROTECT() somewhere unrelated in "soamSubmit" as well, when you are
playing R objects in C/C++... what I mean is, the external pointer
may be unrelated to your problem.
