Dear Duncan, I thank you very much for your attention and I apologize for the few information. Here is some more... I have made some tests and I think that I have found the problem. The thing is that R crashes when both of the followings happen:
Thanks, I can reproduce it now. Looks as though we've got a buffer somewhere that's too short. I'll track it down and fix it. Duncan Murdoch
1) The name of the script (a file saved as R file, e.g. "test.R" through the command "File/Save as" in a R session) has more than 5 characters. Capitalization, numbers of letters do not seem to matter. 2) The location of the script is in a subfolder of third order as compared to the R session. For example, my R session is in: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur\Mes documents\Analyses\AnalysesGUD\ So I'm able to open any R file, whatever the number of character in its name, if it is located in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur\Mes documents\Analyses\AnalysesGUD\ Or in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur\Mes documents\Analyses\AnalysesGUD\PourArticle\ Or in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur\Mes documents\Analyses\AnalysesGUD\PourArticle\Analyses\ However, it crashes if the name of the R file has more than 5 characters and is located in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur\Mes documents\Analyses\AnalysesGUD\PourArticle\Analyses\ModeleDensiT\ And other subfolders. I hope this is enough and that you'll be able to find a way to solve that. Thank you very much for your help. J?r?me ============ J?r?me Lema?tre Chaire de recherche industrielle CRSNG - Universit?

Full_Name: Jerome Lemaitre Version: 2.6.0 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (132.203.202.117) Hello, I have recently downloaded the 2.6.0 version of R and I experience
troubles that
never happened to me with previous versions. I open an R session with an R shortcut in "My documents/Analyses".
However, when
I want to open R files such script using "File/open script" R crashes. I
have
made some tests and it appears that the software is more prone to crash
when the
script in not located in the same folder as the R shortcut. For example,
my
script may be in a subfolder: "My documents/Analyses/GLM". I hope you will find an easy way to fix this.
We need to reproduce it first. I tried to follow your instructions, and didn't see a problem. Could you please give complete details of a reproducible way to cause the crash, starting from an R session with an empty workspace? Please be specific about the directory name, the file names, and the contents of the file you are trying to open. Duncan Murdoch
