as.character() crashes R 2.11 on Win2008 x64 and Win7 64

Dear List,



I have a Date vector, and converting to character causes R 2.11 to crash on one machine running Win2008 x64 and another running Win7 x64. The code runs fine on R 2.10.


For example,
x <- as.Date(rep(1:15000, 10), '1970-01-01')
y <- as.character(x)


At this point, Rgui crashes.


I get this using both the 32 and 64 bit 2.11.0 R builds.


I'd appreciate any suggestions for how to eliminate these crashes (particularly with the x64 version).
  

Thanks,

Nick
