R help - Jun 2008 - Rprintf and "C stack usage is too close to the limit"

Hi,

I would appreciate if someone could comment on this problem I am
experiencing. I am writing a C++ program to be called from R. In this
program, there is a verbose switch that decides whether to print some
debugging info using Rprintf. On windows, things work ok. On linux, things
are fine in non-verbose mode, but in verbose mode, I get error saying "C
stack usage is too close to the limit" after a few lines are printed.

Is Rprintf the right function to use for showing message on R console? If
yes, what should I do about the error message?

Thank you very much in advance! This problem has been bugging me for a few
days now.

Youyi

Rprintf is the right function, but this is the wrong list (please see the 
posting guide).  The issue is related to your 'C++ program', not to R 
itself and we have no details.  Non-R programming questions should go to 
R-devel, as the posting guide says.
