[BioC] problem loading affycoretools (more details)

Hi again,
I have been playing around with the order of loading packages, and as far
as I can tell, there's nothing specific with affycoretools that's causing
my Rgui to crash (i.e., shuts down and the Microsoft 'please send error
report' box pops up). Instead, it has something to do with the order & type
of packages that are loaded that add items to the menu bar by themselves,
or adding more options under 'Vignettes'. Specific combinations of any 3
of: affycoretools, RWinEdt, affyPLM or affylmGUI can cause the crash. So
far, I haven't been able to get it to crash without affycoretools, even if
I load all the dependencies by themselves, but that may just be because I
don't know of another package that adds to the menu bar. After playing
around with this for a while, even combinations of two packages (that
loaded fine before) started to crash the Rgui until I rebooted my PC. I
remember having similar sorts of trouble a while back when manually
downloading zipped packages and installing them via the menu - after doing
a few, clicking on the menu again in the same R session would cause the
Rgui to crash. As this may not be specific to Bioconductor (except that you
may not put so many items in the menu unless you're using BioC packages),
I'm cross posting to the R mailing list.
Cheers,
Jenny
