[R-sig-ME] Glmer Stack Imbalance Warning

[Ben Bolker]

   This is surprising; I don't recall ever seeing this error in 
conjunction with lme4, although there is a brief discussion of it (but 
without a reproducible example) in this mailing list thread from 12 
years ago.

  If it's reproducible, this would definitely constitute a bug in lme4. 
  At the very least, we would need the output of sessionInfo().  As an 
attempt at a "turn it off and back on again"-style solution, I would 
suggest reinstalling Rcpp, RcppEigen, and lme4 (in that order), 
preferably from source ...

   cheers
