Full_Name: Stephen Milborrow Version: 2.8.1 OS: WinXP Submission from: (NULL) (198.54.202.150) There is a missing PROTECT in intern_getwd in util.c. The current code is rval = allocVector(STRSXP, 1); SET_STRING_ELT(rval, 0, mkCharCE(buf, CE_UTF8)); and should be (because mkCharCE can allocate memory) PROTECT(rval = allocVector(STRSXP, 1)); SET_STRING_ELT(rval, 0, mkCharCE(buf, CE_UTF8)); UNPROTECT(1); This was seen in R version 2.8.1 mingw32
And it is code specific to that platform (although you did not say so). Fixed now in R-patched, thank you.
