The function knn.cv in the class package doesn't have error checking to ensure that the length of the classlabel argument is equal to the number of rows in the test set. If the classlabel is short, the result is often a segfault.
> library(class) > dat <- matrix(rnorm(1000), nrow=10) > cl <- c(rep(1,5), rep(2,5)) > cl2 <- c(rep(1,5), rep(2,4)) > knn.cv(dat, cl) [1] 2 2 1 2 1 2 2 2 2 2 Levels: 1 2 > knn.cv(dat, cl2) # May have to try more than once to get segfault. This also occurs on my linux box.
