Your quest for "move to the next index and repeat" only makes sense when the
vector can be negative, so there might be several indexes where the crossing
occurs. However, there is an additional assumptions that there was really a
crossing; or, alternatively, that cumsum was below threshold in between.
Here is a version that uses "diff" (Check: the index might be off-by one)
Dieter
set.seed(4711)
vec = rnorm(100)
cumsum(vec)
thresh = 4
which(diff(cumsum(vec)<thresh)==1)
