Memory error when using feather with tibble 1.4.99.9004

See original GitHub issue

Reproducing the error:

devtools::install_github("tidyverse/tibble")
library(feather)
write_feather(mtcars, "mtcars.feather")
mtcars2 <- read_feather("mtcars.feather")

Error: C stack usage 7970208 is too close to the limit

It also throws other error on a linux server (same case): Error: evaluation nested too deeply: infinite recursion / options(expressions=)?

The solution: using the last version on CRAN. Thanks!
