>Description:
	Error in question ("Error: segfault from C stack overflow")
	appears to be associated with long "date" vectors, and is
	addressed in the R project's PR #14267, incorporated in R
	2.11.1, announcement of the release of which may be found at
	<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.general/191995>,
	dated 2010-05-31 09:16:36 GMT.

	I was running R 2.11.0_1.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Ensure the existence of a suitable file to read; the one I use
	in the following example (/tmp/individual_allocations) has
	169199 lines:

	> I <- read.table("/tmp/individual_allocations", header = TRUE, colClasses = c("Date", "numeric", "numeric", "numeric", "numeric"))
	> png("/tmp/Space_Date.png", width = 700, height = 700)
	> Is <- subset(I, as.numeric(I$Tag) %% 7 == 6)
	> xlist <- as.numeric(unique(Is$Tag)) - as.numeric(min(Is$Tag))
	> boxplot( GB_total ~ Tag, data = Is, varwidth = TRUE, notch = TRUE, col = "lightblue", medcol = "darkblue", xlab = "Date", ylab = "Allocation size (GB)", main = "Local Disk Space Allocation Distributions by Date", at = (xlist/7), xlim = c(0, max(xlist/7 )))
	Error: segfault from C stack overflow

>Fix:

	It is believed that upgrading the port to R 2.11.1 will
	resolve this error.
