I get the same error. On debugging, after the 10th iteration (~1,375 lines after the all.equal(x, x) call), I get:
exiting from: all.equal(target[[i]], current[[i]], check.attributes = check.attributes, ...) debugging in: all.equal(target[[i]], current[[i]], check.attributes = check.attributes, ...) debug: UseMethod("all.equal") Browse[4]> ls() # so it shows "current" and "target", but... [1] "current" "target" Browse[4]> current # when I try to look at it Error in current[[i]] : subscript out of bounds Browse[4]> target Error in target[[i]] : subscript out of bounds Browse[4]> getAnywhere(current) no object named 'current' was found Browse[4]> environment() <environment: 0x0000000006037088> Browse[4]> exists(current) Error in current[[i]] : subscript out of bounds In addition: Warning message: In exists(current) : restarting interrupted promise evaluation Which is utterly out of my league, but perhaps useful to others. At the least, this seems an odd error message to give if all.equal() cannot handle that type of object.
