prcomp: error code 17 from Lapack routine dgesdd

I am trying to use prcomp and I am getting this error:

p <- prcomp(xtr, retx = TRUE, center = TRUE, scale = TRUE, tol = NULL)

Error in La.svd(x, nu, nv, method) : error code 17 from Lapack routine 
dgesdd

dim(xtr)

[1]  301 2439

Does it mean that the matrix is to big ?
