Subject: [Rd]  (PR#1229) RGui/R Console crashes when entering illegal
Message-ID: <200112271118.MAA16417@pubhealth.ku.dk>

This is answered in the rw-FAQ, Q2.12!  It is not a problem with R, but
with your installation of Windows.

*PLEASE* do not report FAQs as bugs: it a complete waste of the
developers' time.
