[R] How to pass eval.max from lme() to nlminb?

[Andrew Robinson]

Dear R community,

I'm fitting a complex mixed-effects model that requires numerous
iterations and function evaluations.  I note that nlminb accepts a
list of control parameters, including eval.max.  Is there a way to
change the default eval.max value for nlminb when it is being called
from lme?

Thanks for any thoughts,

Andrew
