Invalid Page fault - R ver 1.0.0 on Windows98 SE

Thanks for your help. To answer your question, it is a bit involved process
to upgrade for me (as I use R in a "production" environment).

Thanks for the quick response Prof. Ripley. I will try to upgrade over

the

holidays. In the meantime, I will try to reproduce the page fault.
Unfortunately, it does not happen at the same place at all times. I have
noticed that, cut and paste from window's notepad did not produce the

fault

while it did while doing so from the Programmer's File Editor 1.01

(beware

though since my sample sizes are small). It happen sometimes while simply
doing command line editing.
BTW: doing a quickview of CRTDLL.DLL shows (on my system) in the Export
table that
for the ordinal 017f, the entry point is 0000be95 and the name is fwscanf
Does that help any?
 TIA.

It seems to be the bug mentioned by Prof Brian D Ripley.
The problem is not pasting (I also thought this would be the problem at
first), but a problem with the command history.
If you have got a big number of short lines, i.e. more than 512 lines
with less than 16kB in your history, R-1.0.0 crashes sometimes.

I do not understand why you don't want to upgrade at once. Upgrading
takes mostly less time than writing this mail ;-).

A quick workaround (so the next 512 lines will): Delete your file
.Rhistory .

Uwe Ligges
