I assume that you are using R on some silicon-based electric circuit, but 
that's about all I can guess to understand the error message. In what command 
did it occur? Possibly "read.table"? And try 

  traceback()

after the error message. And if it is during read-in of data, shorten your file 
to 3 lines and try again.
