This bug is specific to WinXP, as Linux64 handles this situation more gracefully: matrix(1:4, nrow=2, dimnames=list()) Error in matrix(1:4, nrow = 2, dimnames = list()) : invalid type (environment) for 'dimnames' (must be a vector)
Actually no (the reported type is wrong, and my x86_64 Linux system also crashes).
This case slips though the error-checking, and I've added a final error check that will catch it in R-patched.
Thank you for the report.
Thanks, Arni R 2.8.0-patched on WinXP ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
