[BioC] simpleaffy segmentation fault

Dear List,

I am using simpleaffy's detection.p.val method to get the P values of my
arrays. When I set tau value 10^-1 and 10^-2, I get segmentation fault.For
Tau val ues less than 10^-3 onwards it works fine. Any pointer on this
will be very helpful.

many thanks

Sucheta

Following is my source code:
=============================
  Data <- ReadAffy(filenames=file)
  Calls <- detection.p.val(Data,tau = 1e-2, calls=FALSE,
alpha1=0.05,alpha2=0.05)
