A post to r-help today prompted me to see if I could reproduce the problems the poster was having with a hang as a result of access to a pdf vignette for package zoo. I was not able to get a hang with using (from the GUI):
vignette("zoo")
but I was able to get a hang when access the zoo help Index and choosing the "overview" link at the top of the help browser page. The OP was using R 2.11.1, while I was using R 2.10.1. We both were using OSX 10.5.8.
Do you have any Adobe plugins installed? They are known to be buggy and crash at times. The standard OS X pdf viewers work just fine. In case you have no plugins - can you, please, describe in detail how to reproduce the issue? (GUI/ command line, exact version) I was following your steps in the GUI [R.app GUI 1.34 (5589) i386-apple-darwin9.8.0] and it was working just fine on 10.6.3 (I don't have access to 10.5 at the moment). Thanks, Simon
I then updated to yesterdays stable R 2.11.1 from the ATT page and can still get the segfault, although it no longer hangs. It lets me exit gracefully and even lets me copy portions of the console window:
?zoo
starting httpd help server ... done *** caught segfault *** address 0x101e90000, cause 'memory not mapped' Possible actions: 1: abort (with core dump, if enabled) 2: normal R exit 3: exit R without saving workspace 4: exit R saving workspace
Selection: The original r 2.10.1 setup ....
