[Rd] MacOS X - R crashes & import problem (PR#9005)
Full_Name: Oliver Balmer Version: 2.3.1 OS: Mac OS 10.4.6 Submission from: (NULL) (157.161.74.75) when working in the editor R crashes regularly. no other program ever crashes. one quite reliable way to crash it is by marking some code and then pressing the "find" command. I have had this problem with other R versions before. I have the feeling the editor is the problem. Another problem with the editor is that I always need to hit the carriage return twice after inserting the cursor at a certain point, after the first time, nothing happens. Not a big problem but probably not as it should be, and maybe a hint for a deeper problem. Another bug: if the imported data frame contains a ? (greek mu, as in microliter), R can't read the file.

If it is a text file, encoding issues may come into play, and a valid mu in one encoding can be an invalid character in another. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard ?ster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.

A very common source of problems are 3rd-party haxies that are know to crash other applications. Please send me the crash report - without it we can't really do anything (it will also include important details you omitted like what Mac you are using etc.).> Another bug: if the imported data frame contains a ?

As Peter mentioned earlier my guess is that you failed to use/define the correct encoding. Cheers, Simon
Hi there, I have got more or less the same problem. I actually can not do anything in the R editor - as soon as I try to change something it crashes. Has anyone been able to solve this problem? I can send the full crash report if someone is interested. gr.
