This is almost certainly C stack overflow, which will be _very_ OS-specific. I can run this 9-var example in Linux with a stacksize of 30Mb, but not the default 10Mb. I tried it with the default stack under valgrind, and it works. Windows versions of R have I believe a stack of 8Mb, and so I suspect are running close to that with 8-var example. The problem appears to be recursion in StripTerm.
default of stack of ld for Mingw seems to be 2M. see. binutils-2.16.91-20050827-1/ld/emultempl/pe.em 289 D(SizeOfStackReserve,"__size_of_stack_reserve__", 0x200000), How about adding the following to MkRules?
