[R] 'Save Workspace' gives "recursive default argument reference" -- workaround?
When signing off R or trying to save a workspace in Windows XP pro SP2,
I receive the following error message -
save.image("C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-2.4.1\\Responses3.RData")
Error in save.image("C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-2.4.1\\Responses3.RData")
:
recursive default argument reference
Everything else seems to work fine, and the only function I have written
using "outer" (which I gather to be associated with this error) runs
without problems.
An excursion through the list archives did not yield information
discussing this message in connection with workspace saves.
Can a user suggest a workaround or alternative method to save the
workspace before I exit R and see if restarting will cure it?
With thanks for any suggestions,
Ben Fairbank

The man page says save.image() is equivalent to save(list = ls(all=TRUE), file = ".RData"), so try leaving out some of your objects until you identify the problematic one(s).
