Segfault from C to R using data.table

I am using the data.table package in R to read a large block of data (65046 rows, 101959 columns). fread works for me for smaller data frames. When I try to read the data file of interest, I get the following error:

dat <- fread("input_file")
Error: segfault from C stack overflow

I found this question reporting a similar error with version 1.8.9 , but I'm running version 1.9.4, so I'm not sure how to fix this issue.
