That is very unusual, but the C stack can be increased under Windows
by recompiling R (see src/gnuwin32/front-ends/Makefile). On most other
OSes it is much easier, just adjust the setting via ulimit or limit in
your shell.
But I suspect the problem is that your model is too complex.
Incidentally, is your R current? Stack usage in expanding models was
reduced recently.

Well, we don't know what you did (see the footer of this message) but
if you mean 93 explanatory variables I hope you have tens of thousnads
of cases and are just looking for a predictive model.
