[R] Symetric matrix as random effect in lmer

UseRs,

I am trying to fit the following model

 > aa.lmer <- lmer(y ~ x + (1 | s), na.action=na.omit, family=binomial)

where s is a length(x) by length(x) matrix and I get this error:

Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : Ztl[[1]] must have 28392 columns

I am wondering if it is possible to fit such a model in R. If so, I 
would very much appreciate some help because I have not found the way to 
do it.

I pasted the sessionInfo() and subset of the data below.

Thanks!
Marc.
