Re: [R] Infinite recursion error that I don't understand

The error is in printing ... foo <- data.frame(I(z)) works. It is not hard to create a data frame you cannot print, and this is one. It could be considered a bug in format.AsIs, which calls toString without removing its class. Traceback() helps: 14: format.AsIs(x, ...) 13: format(x, ...) 12
