You should have the following statement as part of your startup for R:
options(error=utils::recover)
When an error occurs, you will be at the stack frame where is happens
and you can examine the values of the variables that you are using and
this should help a lot in tracking down your problem. You can see
what the value of 'i' and then look at what the structure of the
object you are accessing.
We would need the same information to help answer the question you are
asking. There is not enough information to say what is happening.
Doing the debugging above would be the minimum data that would be need
to see what the problem is. If it says you got an indexing error,
then you were trying to access something outside the object.
