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.
