Dear expeRts, This is a similar post as on R-SIG-MAC [I didn't receive an answer there; not sure if it was the right place to post either].
I'm running R version 2.12.1 (Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0/x86_64 (64-bit)) on a MacBook Pro under Mac OS X 10.6.6. The following minimal example runs fine under this setup. However, if I am connected to a server via a VPN client [Cisco AnyConnect; same with Apple's internal VPN connection], then the minimal example hangs and just does not do anything. The "red button" in the R Console is dark red [normal behavior if R is running], so R tries to do something, but cannot succeed. CPU goes up to 100%... Same happens if I start the job from the command line via R CMD BATCH. What's going on? Is this a known issue?
