Yes, I would like to know what I *ought* to have done.
Ask on one list. For beginners, only send a bug report if encouraged to do so by someome more experienced. Unless you are sure it is not Mac-specific (or aboute Bioconductor), ask on R-sig-mac, not least because Mac-specific questions on R-help will get lost and those on R-devel might. [Not just for Mary:] Please only send bug reports for things you are *sure* are bugs: because > 90% of bug reports are erroneous and they do take up too much of R-core's time. But the ones that get me angry are the serial offenders. Also, please be patient: the experts are in short supply: Simon Urbanek is currently travelling, I will be next month .... Brian Ripley

It is considered extremely bad behavior to report something like this as bug (see recent post on R-devel).
Yes it is a nuisance, but thankfully we seem to have solved the problem in the meantiime. The one thing I at least have learnt is that a note somewhere about how to deal with this problem would be appropriate: perhaps in one of the FAQs. Brian Ripley

Mary, A somewhat similar problem happened to me in January. Following the advice of Byron Ellis , I removed the .Rhistory file At 4:45 PM -0800 1/1/09, Byron Ellis wrote:
From the crash report it looks like perhaps your history file has been corrupted. I'd delete it and try again

It's probably a file called .Rhistory in your home directory.

Help! I was running R code and started getting error messages that would not stop repeating. I force-quit R, but when I attempted to run it again, it would not start (Icon kept bouncing until I force-quit again). I restarted the computer, then I reinstalled R, but that did not fix the problem. I deleted everything I could find related to R, and installed again. Each time I install I get a "successful" message, but it does not start. I don't know what to try next. I have the latest versions of the operating system. Thanks very much for your time.
