Hello all

I have received a message when attempting to load a workspace in R1.3, which
reads: 'an xdr real data read error occured'. Has anyone come across this
error message before?

With thanks
James Rimmer

I have received this error a few times.  It always seems to go away when I
try again (just relaunching), so I haven't been motivated to dig.

It means that either your file is corrupt or your file reading system is
corrupt.  We've seen it with large workspaces on networked file systems
when a switch was dropping packets (it transpired).

In short, look to your hardware, not R.
