[R] R crashing during batch file formatting

[Jon Minton]

Hi - i mean a 'real crash' (out of the R application) rather than an error.
I'm using 2.3.1: is it worth upgrading?

When you say "crash", do you mean it displays an R error (like "unable 
to allocate vector of length ....") or a real crash with a Windows popup?

Which version are you using?  There were some fixes to the memory 
management after the 2.3.1 release, but I haven't heard of any problems 
in 2.4.0 before this.
