Dear All,

We encountered an unexpected crash with R under Windows when running
fisher.test(). We had this problem only under this OS and only with the
following data:

> T
      [,1] [,2]
 [1,]    2    1
 [2,]    2    1
 [3,]    4    0
 [4,]    8    0
 [5,]    6    0
 [6,]    0    0
 [7,]    1    0
 [8,]    1    1
 [9,]    7    1
[10,]    8    2
[11,]    1    0
[12,]    3    1
[13,]    1    1
[14,]    3    0
[15,]    7    2
[16,]    4    1
[17,]    2    0
[18,]    2    0
[19,]    2    0

The commands:

library(ctest)
fisher.test(T)

result in a crash of R with a system error. (Note that if we change T[19,2]
to the value "1", then there is no problem.) The crash occurs with R-1.0.1
under Win98, and with R-1.1.1 under WinNT (both with Rgui and with Rterm).
However, there is no problem at all under Solaris (tested with R-1.0.1 and
R-1.1.0).

Best,

Emmanuel Paradis
