R help - Oct 2013 - tilting procedure in tilting library hangs or errors

I have a data frame named all_cars containing 1082 rows and 1583 columns.  Each
row represents an observation; each column represents a variable.  Every data
value is an integer or decimal value; there are no nulls or non-numeric strings.
I want to use the tilting library to do variable selection.  I enter a command
like
> all_cars_tilt <- tilting(all_cars[,10:20], all_cars[,2], op=2)
and get the response

Error in t(X[, active, drop = FALSE]) %*% X[, active, drop = FALSE] :  requires
numeric/complex matrix/vector arguments

If I try the command with a larger range of X variables (say 6:384), the command
seems to hang.  I have run spikeslab on the same data set (columns 6:384 as X,
column 2 as Y), without difficulty.  Can anyone help me interpret the error
message?

Thanks!
