My newly installed R-2.1.0 apparently doesn't like forward slashes in filenames:
R.version.string
[1] "R version 2.1.0, 2005-04-18"
plotfile <- "\home\mean_monthly_stl.eps" postscript(plotfile) plotfile <- "/home/mean_monthly_stl.eps" postscript(plotfile)
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x098e7180 *** Abort Does this have something to do with UTF-8 (about which I know little)? Scott Waichler Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scott.waichler at pnl.gov

I would conjecture that it has to do with the fact that you do not have write permission in /home! The backslashed version just creates homemean_monthly_stl.eps in the current directory. If you substitute /tmp for /home, the problem goes away (provided you're on some kind of Unix/Linux -- you didn't say). It's still a bug of course.
