R devel - Nov 2007 - R crashes when I open R files in R (PR#10402)

Hello,

I have recently downloaded the 2.6.0 version of R and I experience troubles that
never happened to me with previous versions. 

I open an R session with an R shortcut in "My documents/Analyses".
However, when
I want to open R files such script using "File/open script" R crashes.
I have
made some tests and it appears that the software is more prone to crash when the
script in not located in the same folder as the R shortcut. For example, my
script may be in a subfolder: "My documents/Analyses/GLM". 

I hope you will find an easy way to fix this.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

We need to reproduce it first.  I tried to follow your instructions, and 
didn't see a problem.  Could you please give complete details of a 
reproducible way to cause the crash, starting from an R session with an 
empty workspace?  Please be specific about the directory name, the file 
names, and the contents of the file you are trying to open.
