Hi Anthony,
I think you have included most of the forbidden characters in Windows
folder names and while I am too lazy to count the characters, you may
have exceeded the 259 character limit as well. Are there really
embedded EOLs as well? This is truly a masterpiece of computer
disobedience.

https://www.r-project.org/bugs.html) before bothering r-core

I haven't looked closely to see what goes wrong, but the problems you 
list should lead to an error message, not a crash.  So yes, Anthony 
should report this as a bug.  Anthony, if you don't have a bug reporting 
account you won't be able to do so; write to me privately and I'll 
create one for you (with your choice of associated email address).
