When running R in a X11 terminal, and trying to download a file with a wrong url with method "internal", R segfaults. This does not happen when using R.app with same method (??) or using "wget" method. For example: > download.file("http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/bin/macosx/powerpc/contrib/2.3/foo.tgz", "foo.tgz") trying URL 'http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/bin/macosx/powerpc/contrib/2.3/foo.tgz' *** caught segfault *** address 0x5f4d4550, cause 'memory not mapped' Traceback: 1: download.file("http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/bin/macosx/powerpc/contrib/2.3/foo.tgz", "foo.tgz") Possible actions: 1: abort (with core dump) 2: normal R exit 3: exit R without saving workspace 4: exit R saving workspace Selection: My session info. > sessionInfo() Version 2.3.1 (2006-06-01) powerpc-apple-darwin8.6.0 attached base packages: [1] "methods" "stats" "graphics" "grDevices" "utils" "datasets" [7] "base" Thanks. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
