If you update dplyr you should get a better error message about this. It looks like you are trying to do a join that results in 22 billion rows, which is way more than dplyr can handle. You are likely missing a join condition in your by argument to dplyr. That has almost always been the case, so I am going to close this one unless you are certain that is not the problem, thanks!
