[R] Segmentation fault/buffer overflow with fix() in Fedora Core 5 from Extras repository
The Fedora Extras update of R found its way onto my systems today and I noted that fix() and edit() no longer work. There is a program crash that closes up R, but it does not leave a core file. I've tested by turning off SELinux, it had no effect. Do you see it too? What do you think? It happens on both systems I've tested. As far as I know, both of these systems are up-to-date. I restarted with "R -d gdb" to try to get a backtrace, but gdb says the debugging symbols have been removed and I don't see the "debuginfo" package on the Extras archive. I'm attaching the gdb info later, but I don't think it helps much without line numbers.. I think my next step will be to re-build R on these systems and see if the problem disappears. Right? If it still crashes, I'll make sure I have debugging symbols and give you a full backtrace. If it does not crash, I'll let you know as well Here's the session that crashes> library(car) > data(Chile) > edit(Chile)*** buffer overflow detected ***: /usr/lib/R/bin/exec/R terminated =======

[R] Segmentation fault/buffer overflow with fix() in Fedora Core 5 from Extras repository
Is this in a UTF-8 locale? If so, this is covered by Ei-ji Nakama's posting to both R-help and R-devel yesterday: see https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2006-October/039792.html You have three choices: 1) Use a single-byte locale. 2) Compile with the standard CFLAGS and not the extra flags used by FC. 3) Use R-patched, which has this fixed. As my dept still sets Linux boxes up in en_GB and not en_GB.utf8, I am using workaround 1 and so took a while to work out what the problem might be. What is happening is that FC sets CFLAGS to something other than the R default. This enables extra checks on buffer overflow and stack-smashing, but unfortunately removes the flag -std=gnu99 that is needed to allow C99 features to be used. Those extra checks are triggered by a few places in the MBCS code that Mr Nakama contributed, and some of those were patched prior to the release of 2.4.0. AFAIK the problems are not new but the detection has got more efficient. It is very helpful to include a concise description of your environment. You only mentioned the OS in the subject line, never the architecture, exact version of R (let alone the exact RPM) nor the locale. sessionInfo() provides such information in a compact form.
