R devel - May 2004 - A crash (PR#6849)

Dear Sir

There is a acces violation erron (Null pointer) when I have done this. This is
repetable but not inmutable.

0. I have put the command "library("Rcmdr")" in the
.Rprofile

1. Start R, load module Rcmdr, Input a dataset in RCommander, then save the
workspace. I can do any analysis now, no crashes, everything works file but
when:

2. I start abain R. It comes up with RCommander perfect

3. I reload the saved workspace from RConsole, it comes up

4. I select the just loaded dataset from RCommander's button <no active
dataset>
(with red letters)

5. Then I clik the name of the just loaded dataset. Often this is enough the
create the crash

sometimes R stays up  to the next operation, lets say Statisticst ->
Frequency

The null-pointer error is in Rgui TCLTK.dll area. I have tried to compile R in
mingw, but it is not easy. I cannot get zlib to compile

So I wonder am I alone with this problem. (This happens to the R 1.8.x too)

Dear Heikki,

I generally don't save the R workspace, but I did try this several
times following your message (on a Win 2000 system using the patched
version of R 1.9.0) and was unable to duplicate the error.

Are you able to produce the error using the tcltk package without
Rcmdr?

Perhaps someone else has some thoughts.

John
