[Rd] error: C stack usage is too close to the limit.

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Please look it up in 'Writing R Extensions'.  Especially in the discussion 
around 'There is a potential issue with the stack-checking mechanism where 
threads are involved.'

This is an issue for the author of RApache, who it seems has not turned 
off C stack checking in the version you are using, and in any case the 
advice is to set appropriate limits, not turn it off.
