R devel - Apr 2004 - Macintosh -- changing working directory forces computer to restart (PR#6749)

Changing working directory (Tools menu) in R-Aqua causes a fatal error that
forces the computer to restart immediately after setting the directory in the
dialog box (screen grays and displays a message saying you need to hold the
power key for several seconds, several languages displayed). This behavior
became evident after 2004-04-05 security update (it used to work correctly) but
it seems unlikely this should affect the behavior. Command-line R seems to work
okay.
