changing dir to network drive in Rgui caused crash ( 1.7.0)

Uwe & Marc, Adding the --vanilla flag doesn't help. Actually, the crash happens if I browse to a folder on a mapped drive. I.e., if I type in "q:\Andy" in the text box, it works, but if I try to browse to Q:\Andy and then click on OK, that's when it crashes.
OK, confirmed. Happens TODAY with ANY drive (local ones as well) on my machine. Can you file a bug report, please [so we will also move any discussion to R-devel]. Thanks! Strange thing: I was not able to reproduce it a few days ago..... Uwe Ligges

Dear R-help, Has anyone experienced similar problem? On WinNT4(sp6), running Rgui from 1.7.0, when try to change directory to some network drive using the "File / Change dir..." menu, Rgui gets a visit by Dr. Watson. If I first change dir to a local drive, then again to a network drive, it works fine. It also works fine with setwd() from the command prompt. Best, Andy
It does not happen on WinXP Pro using 1.7.0, whether I explicitly enter the network path (ie. \\ServerName\Drive\Folder) in the dialog or browse to it.
Works as well on my WinNT4.0 (SP6) installation, starting "as is" and with "rgui --vanilla". Does the latter configuration still produce the crash for you, Andy? Uwe Ligges
Are you using a mapped network drive (ie. 'M:') or a
non-mapped target
path?
