R help - May 2010 - Error in FUN(X[[1L]], ...) : STRING_ELT() can only be applied to a 'character vector', not a 'integer'

I am receiving this error running a command on a multi-row data-frame. The
data is strings of text (each with new line separator, no spaces, no
numerical characters).

Error in FUN(X[[1L]], ...) :
 STRING_ELT() can only be applied to a 'character vector', not a
'integer'

I can run single text string into the same command, and so the issue seems
to be how the package deals with the second row - but I can't work out quite
where the deficit is. 

If anybody has spotted this error before, and knows how to resolve it, that
would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

Hello,

PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

We don't know the function you're using or the data you applied the
function to,
which makes it almost impossible to help.  Can you use ?dput to output the 
data.frame you're experiencing trouble with, and the function definition
you're
using to give us a reproducible, self-contained example?
