[R] changing dir to network drive in Rgui caused crash ( 1.7. 0)
Uwe & Marc, Adding the --vanilla flag doesn't help. Actually, the crash happens if I browse to a folder on a mapped drive. I.e., if I type in "q:\Andy" in the text box, it works, but if I try to browse to Q:\Andy and then click on OK, that's when it crashes.

Happens TODAY with ANY drive (local ones as well) on my machine. Can you file a bug report, please [so we will also move any discussion to R-devel]. Thanks! Strange thing: I was not able to reproduce it a few days ago.....

Try to map another drive letter to the same drive to see if there is something with that particular mapping. 2. Try to map another drive letter to the 'Andy' folder, so that the drive letter maps to that folder directly, not to the main directory on the drive These won't help with a resolution, but may help to isolate the problem if there is an issue with the mapping as it is currently set or perhaps with your network browsing. It has been a few years, but my recollection is that on the server side, there are both defacto scripts for all accounts which can include mappings and there are account specific scripts which may include the same. Is it possible that there is something in the scripts/mapping or in your workstation environment that is compromising the integrity of network browsing? I'll check back when I return later this afternoon. Regards, Marc Schwartz
