Hmm...it appears that stackApply is using different conditions which might
be causing this problem. Below is the snippet of the code which I think
might be the problem.

## For canProcessInMemory
if (rowcalc) {
  v <- lapply(uin, function(i) fun(x[, ind == i, drop = FALSE], na.rm =
na.rm))
}
else {
  v <- lapply(uin, function(i, ...) apply(x[, ind == i, drop = FALSE], 1,
fun, na.rm = na.rm))
}


## If canProcessInMemory is not TRUE
if (rowcalc) {
  v <- lapply(uin, function(i) fun(a[, ind == uin[i], drop = FALSE], na.rm
= na.rm))
}
else {
  v <- lapply(uin, function(i, ...) apply(a[, ind == uin[i], drop = FALSE],
1, fun, na.rm = na.rm))
}

I think they should both be same but it appears that they aren't and that's
what you've discovered.  Maybe you can try fix(stackApply) to see if it
really is the problem and can tell us what you find.  Anyways, good
catch...and...sorry for wasting your time.
Cordially,
Vijay.
