R help - Jun 2012 - R 2.15.0 and 2.14.2 crash on the same code that runs on 2.14.1

Dear list,

My code runs on 2.14.1 smoothly (with no error) but makes R crash on 2.14.2
and 2.15.0 with the usual windows message about "R for windows GUI
front-end has stopped working..." and as such I dont have any access to R
to get any error or warning message (if any). It crashes on random parts of
the code any time that I run it.
The code consists of EDA and spatial regression and various loops
and optimizations. The goal of the code is to perform a complete analysis
on various datasets.
Please take a look at the code here :
https://sites.google.com/site/geosciej/Home/STAR_ter1.R?attredirects=0&d=1

It seems that the results that comes out of 2.15.0 is more valid for my
work.

I cant think of anything that makes the code crash on the latest versions.

Here is the error message from windows:

  Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
  Application Name: Rgui.exe
  Application Version: 2.150.58871.0
  Application Timestamp: 4f75a0ca
  Fault Module Name: stats.dll
  Fault Module Version: 2.150.58871.0
  Fault Module Timestamp: 4f75a1c9
  Exception Code: c0000005
  Exception Offset: 000237c5
  OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48
  Locale ID: 1033
  Additional Information 1: 0a9e

I appreciate your help,

Thank you

You are not likely to find people willing to debug 15553 lines of code for you,
and they are certainly not going to do it "by eye", without the
datasets!

One thing that jumps out is that you start off by loading five external
packages, either of which might be the true owner of the problem. Even if the
actual crash hits in the stats.dll, the underlying issue could well be memory
corruption occurring some time earlier.

Things to try:

Run under Rterm in a command window instead of Rgui. That should at least tell
you how far you got before the crash, maybe even a proper traceback.

Carefully try disabling parts of the code until the issue goes away. The last
item removed might hold the clue. If you can cut it down to something
small(-ish) and reproducible, people might be in a better position to help you.

Is it really a random crash, or does the crash point move every time you change
the code slightly? If the former, you might have physical computer problems or
you might be running close to your memory limit.
