R devel - Apr 2008 - Seqfault, Address 0, track X11() (PR#11231)

Full_Name: Liqun Xing
Version: 2.6.2
OS: Solaris 9
Submission from: (NULL) (76.182.91.82)


When first time launch X11(), it was fine. However, when closed the X11 windon
by clicking the close button, or closed it off by command Dev.off() and launched
the X11() again, got segfault, and asking for exiting R and other options.

A) Yes, that happens occasionally; particularly if I forget to call
Dev.off() after closing the window.  Just try it again.
B) Instead of calling x11 without arguments, you could pass DISPLAY,
e.g., x11("localhost:0.0").
C) I've seen that suggestion to exit R.  Usually I ignore it, and
nothing bad happens.

Good luck

Thank you very much for the helps.

However, it happened me on my Solaris OS 9 machine every time as long as I
closed the X11 window regardless how I launched the X11 window using plot,
edit(dataset) , etc, even I specifically close the device using dev.off()
command after I closed the window by clicking the close button.

I will try the pass the DISPLAY and see how it will happen....

Thanks again
Liqun
