[R] Error message: Bad value

[Toby Gass]

Thank you for the response.  I was doing a basic operation 
with a small dataset and am (fortunately for me) unable to 
reproduce the error.  After restarting R, without shutting 
down anything else, there was no error.  I thought I would 
post, however, since 2 others had reported the same problem 
in the past year.

| That message is probably being printed in response to 
memory corruption.

| That version is a little old; 2.7.1 was just released.  If 
you can make

2.6.2), it would
