What help do you want, exactly?  The error message seems pretty clear. 
Your data set "a" is such that trying to apply the function results in 
asking for more memory than can be allocated.

Without knowing something about "a" it is impossible to say more. 
Members of this list do not, as far as I know, have psychic powers.
