No, and if it did it should be listed in the DESCRIPTION file (and given 
that the maintainer of RWeka wrote the rules, it would be).

PLEASE do!  We don't know your OS, version of R, version of RWeka, version 
of Java, what 'stalls' means, what the maintainer said when you asked him 
(as required by the posting guide) ... in short anything we need to even 
guess at the problem.
