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.

(1.7.0)

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?

Are you using a mapped network drive (ie. 'M:') or a 

non-mapped target

path?
