[R] help with simple function

I'm trying to build on Jim's approach to change the parameters in the
function, with new rules:
1. if (x[i]>0) log(x[i]/(number of consecutive zeros immediately preceding
it +1))
2. if (x[i]==0) NA
x<-c(1,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1)
# i.e. output desired = c(0, NA, -0.69, NA, NA, -1.098, NA, NA, NA, -1.38,
NA, NA, NA, NA, -1.61)
# attempting to modify Jim's function...:
y <- rle(x)
result <- lapply(seq_along(y$lengths), function(.indx){
if (y$values[.indx-1] == 0)
log(y$values[.indx]/seq(y$lengths[.indx-1]+1, by=-1,
length=y$lengths[.indx]))
else rep(log(y$values[.indx]), y$lengths[.indx])
})
#...I am clearly missing something!
Does it not work because I haven't addressed what to do with the zeros and
log(0)=-Inf?
I've tried adding another "ifelse" but I still get the same result.
Can someone find the error in my ways?
