SystemFlippers?

Hi,

A long time ago I noticed below 'SystemFlippers' message started  to  
show up, initially in R-2.8.0-alpha 64-bit.

It only happens in 64-bit and if you start R.app through osascript/ 
AppleScript, e.g. in TextMate using 'source file to R'.

Has anyone else come across this behavior?

Yes (see the list archives), it seems a bug in Leopard when running 64- 
bit applications (it is not really R-related since many other  
applications seem to encounter it as well). AFAICS it is benign, just  
producing annoying messages.

Cheers,
Simon

Have been testing a bit with the 2-8-alpha (64 bit versions) and

this.
Never seen them in the 32-bit versions, including 2.8.0 .

Seems an OS X bug, at least according to those other forums... I'm  
not sure we can do anything about it ... (except for muting  
stderr ;)).
Ok, I was just wondering if say textmate/osascript sends some weird  
characters as I only see the flippers when starting R.app  
implicitly through the 'source(file)' equivalent (via AppleScript).

Could it be that Rversion.h is missing from the repository? The  
GUI do continue to show R 2.7.2 GUI 1.25 (5235) while I'm  
definitely running 2.8.0 .
And so do crash reports.
Yes, I'm manually putting in the version number for release builds  
(the GUI doesn't really know which R version it's run off) and I  
didn't revert it back to devel afterwards. Should be fixed now.
Yip, R version number is now gone. Maybe you're earlier approach is  
better for official releases although, as you state, it is  
ostrich's way of course ...

Thanks,
Rob

Rob
