That is not an error message, I guess. When the matrices are huge, R
is unable to print them totally on the screen, but all data are
present. For instance,

> m[(nrow(m)-10):nrow(m),]
      [,1] [,2] [,3]
 [1,]   NA   NA   NA
 [2,]   NA   NA   NA
 [3,]   NA   NA   NA
 [4,]   NA   NA   NA
 [5,]   NA   NA   NA
 [6,]   NA   NA   NA
 [7,]   NA   NA   NA
 [8,]   NA   NA   NA
 [9,]   NA   NA   NA
[10,]   NA   NA   NA
[11,]   NA   NA   NA
