[Rd] Memory crash

[Göran Broström]

Hello,

I get a segfault when running glmmboot in my own package glmmML. Has 
happened many time before, but this time I get no hint of where in my C 
functions the error might be. I give the output below. Can this be an R 
bug? I suspect it has to do with repeated calls to 'vmmin' like this:

            for (...){
                 vmax = vmaxget();
		vmmin(*p, b, &Fmin,
		      bfun, bfun_gr, *maxit, *trace,
		      mask, abstol, reltol, nREPORT,
		      ext, &fncount, &grcount, &fail);
		vmaxset(vmax);
                 ...
            }

but I am only guessing. Any suggestions?

Ubuntu 8.04, R-2.7.2.
