[R] "Error: C stack usage is too close to the limit" (can't understand explanations of how to fix this)

[anon36]

Apparently the way to deal with this error message is to set
  R_CStackLimit = (uintptr_t)-1
I tried typing this in the R console, but it says Error: object
"R_CStackLimit" not found.
So where do I type it? In one of the initialization files that R uses when
it starts up?
I can't find the answer anywhere. Please note that I don't understand words
like "DLL" or "embed", and I don't understand how R works at any deep level.
I am using R 2.8.1 on Windows XP.
