[R] "symbol print-name too long"

[Afshartous, David]

Spencer,
Thanks for your reply.  Yes, I finally resolved the issue.
One of the archive e-mails on this topic suggested looking 
for a the symbol ' and I mistakenly searched for the symbol ` to
no avail ... finally I found the symbol ' which was in a
very inconspicuous place.
Thanks,
Dave

	  Have you received a reply or otherwise resolved this issue?  If no, 
have you tried to construct the simplest possible example that comes to 
your mind.  Sometimes in the course of trying that, I often figure out 
what the error message means.  If you try this without getting the 
answer yourself, please send the resulting simple example to this list. 
  If someone reading your email can copy a few lines of code from your 
message into R and get the same problem, you are more likely to get a 
quick, informative reply.  (Please also specify which version of R on 
which platform.)
