R devel - Nov 2000 - RE: Gnuserv, NTEmacs, Windows 2000 and R

The following becomes more and more a topic for an R mailing list,
possibly R-devel.

R for Windows crashes are important and should be discussed and debugged
with the experts -- which are not reading ESS-help  AFAIK.

okay now it finally went to R-devel -- quite a bit late so,...

Yes, but this one is not reproducible even on another W2K Athlon machine (I
had access to one over the w/end).  There are known problems with Athlon
motherboards and particular disks under W2K, for example, so I am not at
all sure this is an R problem.  It's frustrating for Erich I know, but
there is nothing I can see we can do to help.
