Infinite call to pbmclapply() about pbmcapply

[kvnkuang]

Hi pat-s,

Thanks for your feedback. The infinite running problem is usually caused by some internal error in mcapply that crashes the futureCall().

I will need to add some error checking and handling routines so that when an internal error is triggered, the function would return or stop instead of running indefinitely.

Regards,
Kevin

Great! Once this is fixed I can replace mclapply() by pbmclapply() in my package. Thanks for your work!
