Thanks. That is useful.
I wasn't claiming that was no bug, just that it wasn't a limit on the file
size.

For example:
library(foreign)
x <- data.frame(x=c("A", "B", "C"), y=c(1,2,3))
write.dta(x, file="temp.dta")
levels(x$x)[2]
[1] "B"
levels(x$x)[2] <- ""
write.dta(x, file="temp.dta")
Error in write.dta(x, file = "temp.dta") :
a binary write error occurred
My work-around at the time was to go through the data replacing ""
with something else that I could then deal with later.
