Janet,
1. you posted to the R-help mailing list rather than to "Elizabeth",
2. if posting to a mailing list, please quote the original thread
otherwise we do not know what you are talking about if we removed the
prior part of the thread.

Hi Elizabeth,
I just found your thread after experiencing a similar problem (I was also
using some IRanges/GenomicRanges functions). You've probably figured it
out by this time - I'm actually curious to know what you found?
I think I've tracked it down in my case, where a small minority of the
elements I was trying to lapply/mclapply over caused a genuine error
(perhaps in your case a genuine NULL answer - is that possible?). When
I used lapply that error was very obvious - it came up on the screen.
But when I used mclapply it looked like the function completed fine -
it wasn't until later that I saw the error was captured as a string
object in the relevant slot of the list object returned by mclapply.
I should build in some checking if I want to persist with using
mclapply.
I wonder if something similar is going on in your case?
Janet
