On running the following DESeq2 code, R crashes with the shown error message. I have tried creating the DESeqDataSet object in multiple ways and it always gets created successfully, but all functions that require dispersion estimates lead to R crashing and quitting.

library("airway")
library("DESeq2")
data("airway")
se <- airway
dds <- DESeqDataSet(se, design = ~ cell + dex)
dds <- DESeq(dds)

estimating size factors
estimating dispersions
gene-wise dispersion estimates
