R help - Sep 2009 - Maximum No.of code in R

I tried running 50 lines of ifelse statement in R and the system says context
stack overflow at 50 line.Is it the limitation of R or is there any way
around that can be done to overcome this.Thanks

You can always break it up into multiple lines.  For example, the 
following are equivalent if we ignore the presence of the temp variable 
in the second case.

x <- ifelse(a, b, ifelse(c, d, e))

and

temp <- ifelse(c, d, e)
x <- ifelse(a, b, temp)

Well, code with 50+ ifelse statements (probably nested) seems to me quite 
weird. I believe that such scheme could be solved differently but without 
real code it is nothing to suggest.
