Summary: [R] read.table on Mac OS X, CARBON vs. DARWIN

It won't fix the stack-imbalance bug, but upgrading to 1.4.1 will, as I
originally pointed out. However, as.is=FALSE was superseded by better
facilities in read.table in 1.4.0. (It will help with the slowness, but the
solution described is not as good as the one in 1.4.1.  Not that slowness
is a `bug'.)

All this has been discussed on R-help a few weeks ago, and it feels like we
are being asked to re-live the past.  Workarounds are in the archives,
several times.  I won't repeat them here as the real answer is to upgrade
to 1.4.1, and that *is* available for Darwin.  So can this discussion be
moved to R-mac-sig, as it seems a Mac-specific issue of how to install
1.4.1?

Adding that line didn't work for me. I get the same problem as before
(version 1.4.0):
