Dear R-Bugs,

thank you for your wonderful software, which we use a lot. We are having a =

bit of difficulty right now because it crashes sometimes with Unicode=20
characters.

Actual sessionInfo:

R version 2.9.0 (2009-04-17)=20
i386-pc-mingw32=20

locale:
LC=5FCOLLATE=3DGerman=5FGermany.1252;LC=5FCTYPE=3DGerman=5FGermany.1252;LC=
=5FMONETARY=3DGerman=5FGermany.1252;LC=5FNUMERIC=3DC;LC=5FTIME=3DGerman=5FG=
ermany.1252

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods   base=20

We can crash R by reading or copy-pasting the following file into it (for=20
example, Rgui --vanilla).

I see a message "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library", "Runtime Error!".=20
If you do not, please let me know and I'll try installing 2.9.2 and see if =

that fixes the problem (the list of bug fixes doesn't seem to include this =

one, but I'm not sure).

Many thanks and best wishes,

George Russell
