crash after using graphics in Rcmdr (PR#13679)
2 messages · Rob Goedman, DevinJ
This happens to me every time I try a plot command from TextWrangler with the following applescript tell application "TextWrangler" set the_selection to (selection of front window as string) if (the_selection) is "" then set the_selection to line (get startLine of selection) of front window as string end if end tell tell application "R64" cmd the_selection end tell I don't know if that sheds any light on the situation. I do like TextWrangler but can't use it because any time I send a plot command over it plots fine with Quartz, but when I close the window (manually or with dev.off()) I get the segfault.

John, To the best of my knowledge this problem in R.app has been around at least since the R-2.8 days, but likely much longer. I never use R from a Terminal, so don't know if it occurs or not outside R.app. It's not related to Rcmdr and you're observation is indeed one of the better ways to kind of reproduce the issue. Not sure if it always does though. If you have a 'hard' way of crashing R.app, please let me know the sequence. In cases when no output is written to the console of R.app I tend to make sure I enter an empty line before closing the graphics window. This issue and sometimes very long sequences of plots (never have been able to make that reproducible, sometimes the crash happens up to a minute after R finishes a series of plots and I'm working in an external editor like TextMate) are hard to pin down. Regards, Rob Note: Hope you don't mind I've removed the R-bugs & R-devel Cc's. On Apr 30, 2009, at 6:29 AM, John Fox wrote:
Dear Neil, I had R 2.8.0 installed on my Mac Book, also with OS X 10.5.6, and was unable to duplicate this problem. I then installed R 2.9.0 and observed the same problem that you did. In both cases, I used the latest version of the Rcmdr package, 1.4-10. I also observed the following: (1) The problem occurred only if I closed the Quartz graphics device after the first graph was plotted; if I plotted another graph and then closed the device, the problem did not occur. (2) The problem did not occur if I ran R from a terminal with an X11 graphics device rather than using R.app. I'm afraid that there's not much more that I can do at this point, since my familiarity with Macs is minimal. I'm copying this message to Rob Goedman, who has proven helpful in the past. Of course, if there's something in the Rcmdr that's causing the problem and I can fix it, I will. Regards, John

blows
up and tells me of a segmentation fault. It then gives me *** caught segfault *** address 0xc0000023, cause 'memory not mapped' Possible actions: 1: abort (with core dump, if enabled) 2: normal R exit 3: exit R without saving workspace 4: exit R saving workspace
Selection: This only happens if I create the graphics from within Rcmdr. If I create
the
graphics manually, there is no problem. This occurs on my laptop with R
2.8.1
(I uninstalled 2.9 and reinstall 2.8.1 to see if the problem existed there)
and
also on my iMac with R2.9.
