R devel - Feb 2012 - Error in data.frame(srcfile = NA_character_ ...) using R CMD check

Hi all,

I'm running into an error when using R CMD check on a package I inherited
and I'm now trying to clean up. There are known issues with the Rd files
(they definitely need to get updated) resulting in a couple of warnings,
but the error occurs before check reaches the Rd files. Below is a snippet
of my check.log:

* using log directory 'F:/RForgePackages/pkg.Rcheck'
* using R version 2.14.1 (2011-12-22)
* using platform: i386-pc-mingw32 (32-bit)
* using session charset: ISO8859-1
* checking for file 'pkg/DESCRIPTION' ... OK
* this is package 'disco' version '1.1'

... (all OK's here)

* checking R code for possible problems ... NOTE
Error in data.frame(srcfile = NA_character_, frow = NA_integer_, lrow
NA_integer_,  :
  node stack overflow
Calls: <Anonymous> ... as.data.frame -> as.data.frame.list -> eval
-> eval
-> data.frame
Execution halted

I tried to find a solution but I couldn't find any extra information on
this. A previous discussion
http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/bug-in-codetools-R-CMD-check-td3257832.html made
me wonder what made R CMD check spit out that error. I tried to dig into
the source code of check, but lost my way somewhere.

The package resulting in this error can be found at:
