We suggest that you upgrade to 0.9.10.

I would always work with small reproducible examples, and try to solve it on
those first. 

Doug suggested to create an Rcpp::IntegerVector object first which may help.
But in general, the implicit 'Rcpp::wrap()' of an STL object should also work
(and is a very nice feature to have).

You could also try Rcpp::List instead of Rcpp::DataFrame -- while they are
similar, Lists are just a little bit simpler.

Worst case, try objects half the size :-/
