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.

Version 2.3.1 (2006-06-01)

attached base packages:

Thanks.
