[Bioc-devel] Build error - C stack usage is too close to the limit

[Aaron Lun]

One possibility is that this is due to a regression in 
SingleCellExperiment, caused by the altexp updates and other 
refactoring. This should be fixed in 1.7.3, you can check this for 
yourself by installing drisso/SingleCellExperiment off GitHub.

The other moral of the story is to not use serialized high-level 
objects. Serializing basic objects is fine, but the higher up you go, 
the more fragile your code becomes to refactoring. See, for example, the 
scRNAseq data package for how to deliver a SingleCellExperiment to an R 
session without relying on serialized SingleCellExperiments.
