Rcurl crash in R-devel

___________________________________________________

Below is a reproducing example that produces the crash.
If I do exactly the same in R 3.1.2, it works perfectly.

I have the lastest libcurl library (curl @7.40.0) installed

So, perhaps indeed that the problem originates from RCurl, but the
problem appears only in R 3.2.

But before to check more carefully, I would like to know if others have
also a problem using the same configuration : MacOS X 10.10.2 and R 3.2
or if it is only for me ?

Sincerely,

Marc

Hello,

I don't know if the problem originates from R-devel 3.2 or Rcurl
itself. I post this message to the R-devel list and to the author of
RCurl (duncan at r-project.org).
