R help - Oct 2010 - maxitems in cluster validity

I did cluster validity using internal and stability measures on 8768 items but I
get an error message: “ the number of items to be clustered is larger than
maxitems.”  I increased my maxitems to 9000 and still got the same error
message.  I partitioned the data into subsections of 600 and was able to get
results but it doesn’t make sense to interpret the 15 validity results based on
subsections of the data specially so if one is after the validity of clusters
resulting from an entire data set. How can I increase items for cluster
validation?

You'd need to show us the code you attempted to use in order to make it 
possible to help you.

A good idea may also be to contact the package maintainer directly.

Best regards,
Christian
