R help - May 2004 - useR! 2004 keynote lecture slides

Dear useRs,

there has been some interest on this list into material about the
presentations at useR! 2004.

The slides from the keynote lectures are now available from the
conference web page at 
  http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/Conferences/useR-2004/
thanks to the R-core team members who were willing to give the talks and
provide their pdf-slides.

For the user-contributed presentations, there are (mostly) only
abstracts available on the conference web page - for further information
you could look at the web pages of the presenters which are in many
cases linked from the participants page.

For the useR! organization team,
Achim

I have code that will crash R every time on an OS X machine, but runs 
fine on other platforms. The developer I've been working with suspects 
it's a compiler issue, but I only have the same ones he does (g77).

Obviously, the way to test this would be to compile R using another 
compiler. XLF is the (by IBM, distributed by Absoft) is the only other 
one I know of. It's pretty expensive on its own, so if somebody has a 
license and would be willing to help out, please drop me a line.

Thanks!
