UDTF R Error: RInterface.cpp:1387 Unable to find the cause.

Hi,

I am getting the following error when running an updated R UDF that calculates p-values. Having a very difficult time determining the cause of the error. We have similar code to calculate a fisher test which is working. Could use some help determining the cause of the error. The complete R UDF code is below.

[Vertica]VJDBC ERROR: Failure in UDx RPC call InvokeProcessPartition(): Error calling processPartition() in User Defined Object [p_adjust] at [/scratch_a/release/svrtar28745/vbuild/vertica/OSS/UDxFence/RInterface.cpp:1387], error code: 0, message: Exception in processPartitionForR: [Returned string value '[90]' with length [2] is greater than declared field length of [1] at output column index [0]])

R_version: R version 3.3.2 (2016-10-31)
Vertica Analytic Database v7.2.3-14
