Hello R-help list,


I have a piece of code written by a grad student here at BU which will segfault 
when using one data set, but complete just fine using another.  Both sets are 
just text files full of real numbers.

It seems like a bug within R.  It could be a bug within her data, but
again, her data is just a bunch of floats, so her data could be
triggering a bug within R.  I have tried this with two different rpm packages 
of R for Linux (R-2.8.0-1.rh5 and R-2.8.1-1.rh5) as well as a fresh build that 
I just did of the prerelease R-beta_2009-04-02_r48271.tar.gz
I have also tried installing the absolute newest versions of  
glmnet_1.1-3.tar.gz and Matrix_0.999375-23.tar.gz.  In all cases, the exact 
same error occurs.

Can anyone try this and let me know what they think is happening?  Thanks!

From your traceback it seems it's not a bug in R itself, but in the package glmnet.

It's probably best to chase it up with the package authors since glmnet is not a base R package.
