R Error Reading in Stata File "Error in read.dta("data.dta") : a binary
read error occurred"

I am trying to read a stata file into R with the foreign package, but when
I try to read the file in:
data <- read.dta("data.dta")
I get the following error:
Error in read.dta("data.dta") : a binary read error occurred
The file works fine in Stata.
