[R] Strange behavior of 2-d array within function

[PIKAL Petr]

Hi

I would print/save iteration number to see at what time this occured and
probably traceback() could give you some hint.
Alternatively you could make a function from your code see ?function and use
debug to trace the error.

Without some working example it is impossible to see where is the problem.

Cheers
Petr
