[Rd] Possible bug with scrambled messages on Win7-64bit using R2.12.0 (32/64 bit version)
When executing 'dyn.load("this/dll/does/not/exist.dll")' the resulting error message is scrambled. Not all characters will be displayed and when I select the empty region text disappears/reappears. For a screenshot see: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2602516/dyn.load_error1.PNG and http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2602516/dyn.load_error2.PNG. Note: I had the same problem with xlsReadWrite startup messages with R2.12.0. The solution was to replace my 'CRLF' (windows) line endings with 'LF' (unix). While debugging the issue, I noticed that the problem only occurs on my Win7-64bit platform but not on WinXP-32bit.
