It wasn't an R error. It was an R warning. Was the `summary` output on 
logitregressmodel informative? Does the resultVector look sensible given its 
inputs?

Do some diagnostics. After looking carefully at the output of 
summary(logitregressmodel)  and perhaps summary(dataset1) if it was the 
original input to the modeling functions, and then you could move on to looking 
at cross-correlations on things you think are continuous and crosstabs on 
factor variables and the condition number on the full data matrix.

Lots of stuff turns up on search for "detecting collinearity condition number 
in r"
