We are hitting the MAX_ARGS ceiling in our R-C function calls in the
development of randomForestSRC.  This limits to number of arguments to
65 using .Call().  Is there a work around for this dilemma?  Thank
you.

The easiest is to avoid the problem by using one or more of your SEXP objects
as lists and simply nest other arguments inside the list object.
