Full_Name: Jeffrey M. Freedman Version: 1.4.1 OS: Mac OSX Submission from: (NULL) (169.226.200.51) I'm running R version 1.4.1 (NOT DARWIN VERSION) and it crashes every time I set a working directory (either from the menu or using setwd) to a path that is longer than a certain number of characters. This was not a problem in version 1.3.1.

Yes, I'm investigating that. Normally path longer then 255 chars are not allowed. I'll try to fix this in time for 1.5.0 stefano On Venerdì, marzo 1, 2002, at 04:19 , jmf@atmiserv.com wrote:> Full_Name: Jeffrey M.

This was not a problem in version > 1.3.1.I can duplicate this. setwd("Macintosh HD:Users:thomas:pointless:pointless:pointless:pointless") getwd() crashes (the directory does exist) The error doesn't depend on levels of nesting (replacing 'pointless' by 'a' removes the crash), and it doesn't require the directory to exist setwd("R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. You are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions.") getwd() which is a legal, non existent path, causes the crash. -thomas -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
