[R] Strange behavior of 2-d array within function

[Gabriel Toro]

Hi,

I have a function, which defines an array of dimensions 5000 by 60, calculates the values within that array and then returns the array on exit.

I get an error: Error in my_simulated[ir, 1:it] : incorrect number of dimensions

For some strange reason, the array is somehow being changed from
       mode "numeric" and attributes $dim=6000 by 50
       to
       mode "list" and attributes NULL

This change occurs at more or less random iterations within a loop (all within the same function call). I am not explicitly manipulating the mode or attributes of the array after it is created.

I would appreciate any suggestions on what may be causing this problem. I have stared at the code for a long time, run the debugger, etc.

Thanks,

Gabriel
