A couple of questions:
- Is it the GUI or R itself that crashes? (i.e, can you run R in Terminal an still crash it? or even RStudio?)
- Is it a Sequoia issue as such? I'm not seeing issues on Monterey/4.4.1 (I'm a little superstitious about upgrading production machines mid-semester and some of my machines are too old for Sequoia.) The source tarballs 4.4.2 were built and tested on Intel/Monterey.

Dear Simon
Since your message last week, I have been trying to reproduce the errors I am finding with R-4.4.2 in an Intel MacMini to build a minimum testable example. I am not succeeding in doing so.
The error is a total collapse of R and occurs in a random fashion. Sometimes calling another package (e.g. ?xgboost?) produces the error. Sometimes making a simple operation in a data table leads to error.
The problem affects only Intel-based MacMinis with R-4.4.2. Running MacMinis with R-4.2.3 work will. All is also well with R-4.4.2 in Macs with ARM, in Windows and in Lunix/Ubuntu and Linux/Fedora.
One issue I noticed is that the default C++ compiler in MacOS Sequoia is compatible with c++-17, while the one used by CRAN is version c++-14.00.
Do you have any ideas on how to proceed? Any test data set I could use?
Many thanks
Gilberto

Gilberto,
please read https://www.r-project.org/bugs.html first, in particular about how to report a problem. Just saying "cannot execute my scripts" is not helpful at all - please provide exact output, how it differs between the versions etc. For example, the problem may be in your code or packages used - we have no way of knowing without the necessary additional information.
Thanks,
Simon

Dear R-SIG-MAC
I have problems with R-4.4.2 in the latest Mac OS Sequoia (15.1) version in a Mac mini with an Intel chip. R-4.4.2 cannot execute my scripts. No such problems occur with R-4.4.2 in MacBook with ARM chip.
I went back to R-4.2.3 and all is well in my environment (MacMini, Intel, MacOS X 15.1).
I will try to provide an MWE to help those of you who know a lot about Mac OS X.
Best
Gilberto
