Subject: [Rd] RGui/R Console crashes when entering illegal symbols (PR#1229)
Message-ID: <200112271023.LAA15931@pubhealth.ku.dk>

Full_Name: Henrik Bengtsson
Version: v1.4.0 (2001-12-19)
OS: WinMe
Submission from: (NULL) (217.208.14.137)


When typing/pasting "" (UK pound), "" (sun/star), "" (paragraph), "" (1/2
char) etc in the R Console window the RGui environment crashes. I noticed this
first in R v1.4.0 (2001-12-19 by B. Ripley), but it also happens in R v1.3.1. 

The symbols above are on my keyboard which makes it easy crash R by mistake. I
addition to typing and paste these symbols, I also tried to enter a few other
characters by using Alt-NumKeys (http://www.asciitable.com/) and I found that
several other symbols with ASCII >127 crash the RGui.

Happy New Year and thanks

Henrik Bengtsson
