Indeed. If you could give us an idea of what the script was doing
around the point of the crash that would be very helpful. Attempts
to invert a singular matrix and malformed sprintf commands are, of
course, supposed to generate error messages but not crashes.
Really hard to say apart from "just standard stuff". Later on the string
'msg' is assigned to a bundle and the bundle is returned to the main
driver function of the package, perhaps something's wrong there (wildly
speculative...).
