[Rd] crash after using graphics in Rcmdr (PR#13679)
Full_Name: Neil Hepburn Version: 2.81 and 2.90 OS: OS-X 10.5.6 Submission from: (NULL) (142.244.28.93) When I create graphs using Rcmdr and then close the quartz display, R blows up and tells me of a segmentation fault. It then gives me *** caught segfault *** address 0xc0000023, cause 'memory not mapped' Possible actions: 1: abort (with core dump, if enabled) 2: normal R exit 3: exit R without saving workspace 4: exit R saving workspace>Selection: This only happens if I create the graphics from within Rcmdr. If I create the graphics manually, there is no problem. This occurs on my laptop with R 2.8.1 (I uninstalled 2.9 and reinstall 2.8.1 to see if the problem existed there) and also on my iMac with R2.9.
Dear Neil, I had R 2.8.0 installed on my Mac Book, also with OS X 10.5.6, and was unable to duplicate this problem. I then installed R 2.9.0 and observed the same problem that you did. In both cases, I used the latest version of the Rcmdr package, 1.4-10. I also observed the following: (1) The problem occurred only if I closed the Quartz graphics device after the first graph was plotted; if I plotted another graph and then closed the device, the problem did not occur. (2) The problem did not occur if I ran R from a terminal with an X11 graphics device rather than using R.app. I'm afraid that there's not much more that I can do at this point, since my familiarity with Macs is minimal. I'm copying this message to Rob Goedman, who has proven helpful in the past. Of course, if there's something in the Rcmdr that's causing the problem and I can fix it, I will.
