2 new lines when starting R 2.5.1 from R.app

Hi All,

I too am getting these 'tossing reply message sequence' messages,
both at startup and while executing code.

Specifically, I am using convhulln{geometry} which uses .Call to
access an external C++ program. I mention this because the call to
convhulln() often is quite slow, and the return from .Call often is
delayed while the console continues with the script.

The startup error should be gone in the current version.

As of running an external program that takes too long - there is a  
conceptual problem here. The goal of the new timeout (which causes  
those messages) is to prevent lock-ups of the GUI by packages or  
programs that produce too much output before giving R chance to  
display it.
Please let me know if I can provide further details.

Cheers,
Simon

Hi,

I often get 2 strange lines above or below the welcome message since
updating from 2.5 to 2.5.1. This happens when I start, using R.app.
Unfortunately I cannot reproduce on my PB G4 (which is all I have for
now).

Does the error appear when R takes long to start? (e.g. when started
for the first time). There is a new timeout on R/R.app communication
(stdout/stderr) to avoid deadlocks and that may be causing it
(although the timeout itself is being caught).

The message is harmless, because R.app simply re-connects  
automatically.

I'm currently traveling, but I'll try to fix this once I'm back.

Cheers,
Simon

Here is the case from this morning:

Twice I got two lines when starting up. The second time they were at
the beginning:

Should I be worried? I quit R and started it again right away and the
two lines did not show up.
