Dear list members,

I am running a rather long forach loop while using 16 cores on a cluster 
simultaneously using the package doMC. After approximately 12000 calculations I 
get the following error message:

Fehler in calcs.iter(i) : 
  task 5166 failed - "Indizierung außerhalb der Grenzen"

calcs.iter here is the function that is executed in each foreach iteration. The 
error clearly indicates some sort of indexing error.My problem is that I can 
not reproduce it by running the calcs.iter function outside foreach to identify 
which line of code actually causes the error. For this I would need the value 
of i where the error actually occurred. This value does not seem to be related 
to the task number (5166) given in the error message.

Is there any way to retrieve this i? I added a print(i) to calc.iter and tried 
to reproduce the error with several of the i values that were printed before 
the error occurred but to no avail.

The forach call is:
library(forach)
library(doMC)
registerDoMC(16)
data.results.all=foreach(i=1:n.iters, .combine=abind.mod,
                     .multicombine = TRUE) %dopar% calcs.iter(i)

calcs.iter is quite a complicated combination of functions so posting all of 
them here would probably not really help.



Thanks a lot
Jannis
