I'm running R via Rpy on a redhat linux distribution. Periodically I'll encounter this error message:

*** caught segfault ***
address (nil), cause 'unknown'

And the entire program dies right there. It usually occurs when I run a lot of regression r.lm(). But by simply running the identical code again, the problem may or may not go away (so not always reproduceable). Does anyone know what might be causing this, and/or how I can prevent it from happening?
