Unlikely :-)

We would only need an example of a *small number* of ranges that shows
the problem that you have and allows us to play with it. So -- reduce
your CompressedRangesList into something that you can paste into an
email (using dput, for example) that we can then copy and play with.

For instance, `x` is a small IRangesList I have in my workspace. The
output of dput is:

R> dput(x)
new("CompressedIRangesList"
    , elementType = "IRanges"
    , elementMetadata = NULL
    , metadata = list()
    , partitioning = new("PartitioningByEnd"
    , end = c(3L, 7L)
    , NAMES = NULL
    , elementType = "integer"
    , elementMetadata = NULL
    , metadata = list()
)
    , unlistData = new("IRanges"
    , start = c(1L, 2L, 3L, 15L, 45L, 20L, 1L)
    , width = c(5L, 1L, 6L, 1L, 56L, 61L, 5L)
    , NAMES = NULL
    , elementType = "integer"
    , elementMetadata = NULL
    , metadata = list()
)
)

If you now copy the result of that and assign it to a variable in your
workspace, eg:

R> my.yours <- new("CompressedIRangesList", ...)

You'l see that you now have the same IRangesList that I may be having
problems with ... so ... give us some objects like this that we can
then reconstruct and play with to see how to get you the answer you
want ...

Make sense?
