Error: C stack usage [large number] is too close to the limit

[M-Jen98]

Hello, I am trying to use the SentimentAnalysis package to analyze a collection of TripAdvisor reviews for research. I have a dataset of 178 reviews in a single variable column assigned as SA. Then tried to run this command:

sentiment <- analyzeSentiment(SA)

Which prompted the error

Error: C stack usage 7977028 is too close to the limit

I tried using the direct example from the documentation analyzeSentiment( SA, language = "english", aggregate = NULL, rules = defaultSentimentRules(), removeStopwords = TRUE, stemming = TRUE )

Which led to a similar error

Error: C stack usage 7976404 is too close to the limit

I have been using R Studio Cloud (aka Posit Cloud) for this research but I attempted the exact same code in the desktop RStudio version and encountered this error instead:

Error: node stack overflow Error during wrapup: node stack overflow Error: no more error handlers available (recursive errors?); invoking 'abort' restart

Some initial Googling of the issue makes it seem like it is an issue with recursive code but I do not think that would be the case here. Another thing I cannot make sense of is that I tried this exact same code with nearly the exact same data perhaps 6 months ago and it worked perfectly. Since then I have added less than 10 new reviews to the data (going from 170 to 178). Could that minor increase really cause this issue? If so, what would be a workaround for analyzing all 178 reviews properly? I would appreciate any suggestions for fixing this problem. Thank you
