Possible bug in 'data.table'

Dear R users, I may have found a bug in the function 'data.table'. I have a similar question as the one in this post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3367190/
aggregate-and-weighted-mean-in-r
[snip]
While I run the command temp[,list(weighted.mean(TIME3,QTY)),by=DATE2] R crashes. This behavior occurs in both R Studio and R GUI, regardless of the version (2.14, 2.15, 3.0). Is it really a bug or am I doing something wrong?
If by "crash" you mean that the program actually terminates (i.e. not just an error), then this is by definition a bug in data.table -- there is a bug tracker at https://r-forge.r-project.org/tracker/?group_id=240 , or you could try contacting the package maintainer (help(package="data.table") or maintainer("data.table")
