Hi Dirk,

I will try to produce a minimal reproducible example, but as I need to resort 
on winbuilder to crash it, this could take some time. Furthermore, not all 
inputs crash R, as shown in the example in the end.

However, I am not sure how I contributed to the error since the C++ part of the 
package did run without problems for quite a while, the error only occurs with 
the binary from CRAN, and not all inputs show the error.
Also, the code below did run with previous versions completely, but now the 
last part again crashes it on windows.

An interesting additional observation could be that right now, compiling the 
package on windows using devtools::load_all() also produces the same error 
while installing the tar.gz of the same code from source does not trigger the 
error. Installing using devtools on windows also was never a problem for me.

Very mysterious.

Cheers,
Henrik

### new example code ###
require(MPTinR)
data(d.broeder)
m.2htm <- system.file("extdata", "5points.2htm.model", package = "MPTinR")
i.2htm <- system.file("extdata", "broeder.2htm.ineq", package = "MPTinR")

get.mpt.fia(d.broeder, m.2htm, i.2htm, Sample = 100) # works

get.mpt.fia(d.broeder, m.2htm, Sample = 100)  # crashes

### new example ends ###

using a binary version of MPTinR from winbuilder (temporarily available here: 
http://win-builder.r-project.org/h18PJ7B55VAq), R-devel and corresponding 
binary from CRAN, and I could replicate the error on a range of different 
Windows machines. The error also always disappears when installing from source. 
I am also extremely confident that this problem didn't exist in the past, I and 
others have used this functionality regularly with the CRAN windows binary.

It would help us if you could create a minimally reproducible example exhibit
this behaviour.

About 24 CRAN packages use RcppEigen.  The error could be yours, or ours. But
given the information provided so far it is hard to say more.

You could also try R along with valgrind on Linux to see if that tickles it.
