Dear R Team,
Today I upgraded from R 2.2.2 to 2.8.1 ...then I restarted, did a bunch of
work, and tried to quit. (Note that I have oodles of stuff saved in the work
environment; took almost a full minute to start up.) After over 10 minutes, it
was still trying to close up, and the problem (below) for DBfetch was mentioned,
plus it said
*** caught segfault ***
address 0x7fffdeb1
cause 'memory not mapped'
(retyped from my notes, no way to grab)
After about five more minutes, I did a Force Quit. Then I reproduced the bug.
I opened R, loaded a CSV file from my previous day's work, then quit - here's
what happened:
> quit(save="yes")
Error in .Call("R_lazyLoadDBfetch", key, file, compressed, hook, PACKAGE =
"base") :
C symbol name "R_lazyLoadDBfetch" not in DLL for package "base"
> quit(save="no")
(that latter command worked, 2nd time, no need for Force Quit)
Yarg! I know I can work around this using write.csv(), but I guess my lesson is
never to change versions in the middle of one's dissertation analyses!
with thanks,
Anne G.
