Exactly. And it will be no comfort to Alex who has to chase this by hand but
for those of us old enough to C/C++ time in (whole) decades, it really just
smells *very much* like an old-fashioned indexing error.  Which is why
valgrind was already a good idea.

Minor hint:
   Rcpp::stop("Something here including %d or %s or ... formatting", a, b);
is a tad more Rcpp-idiomatic, and errors.  We now have Rcpp::message(...) to
just do the printing (in a suppressable way). C API of R of course still holds.
