Just got this crash running a FIML version of the front page factor model without updating the object to FIML

> data(demoOneFactor)
> factorModel <- mxModel("One Factor",
+ mxMatrix("Full", 5, 1, values=0.2,
+ free=T, name="A"),
+ mxMatrix("Symm", 1, 1, values=1,
+ free=F, name="L"),
+ mxMatrix("Diag", 5, 5, values=1,
+ free=T, name="U"),
+ mxAlgebra(A %*% L %*% t(A) + U, name="R",
+ dimnames = list(names(demoOneFactor),
+ names(demoOneFactor))),
+ mxMLObjective("R"),
+ mxData(demoOneFactor, type="raw"))
> summary(mxRun(factorModel))

I thought the back-end was converting ML objective functions with raw data to FIML objective functions? valgrind is tracing the error down to populating the 'I' matrix, and it looks like it's interpreting the data source as a covariance matrix:

==5123== Invalid write of size 8
==5123== at 0x60F40F1: omxSetMatrixElement (omxMatrix.c:252)
