Subject: [Rd] Error description not prompted but R crashes instead (PR#14181)
Message-ID: <20100111160508.BD6B6282EFE9@mail.pubhealth.ku.dk>

Full_Name: Philippe Demoulin
Version: R version 2.10.0 (2009-10-26)
OS: OSX 10.4.11 on PPC
Submission from: (NULL) (80.236.193.215)


Test:
At the prompt, just type (without quotes) "> x=1:3". Please note the redundant
">" explictly keyed in for simulating the error

On my daughter MacMini G4 PPC 10.4.11 JSE 1.5, an normal error "Unexpected
character >" is issued.

But on my iMac 10.4.11 PPC JSE 1.5 (so, same environment), R crashes:
Exception:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes:      KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000020
