[R] Cannot quit R - fame package issue?

[Dan Slayback]

Hello list member:

I've recently had a problem in that I'm unable to quit an R Session. I 
noticed this after the update to 2.8.0, but I believe I also noticed it 
on another machine, in the previous version.  It occurs on both linux 
and Mac platforms. It only occurs when I start R in some particular 
workspaces that have alot of objects in them; it does not occur if I 
start R in an empty workspace. I dont have to do anything in the 
workspace after starting R to get this to occur, and no packages are 
loaded by default. Here's a summary from a Linux environment:

------------------------------------------

    if (validServerIsRunning())
        endServerSession()
}
<environment: namespace:fame>

------------------------------------------

As the .Last function is referring to the fame package, I figure it must 
be something to do with that. There are objects in the workspace that 
require fame to be loaded, but at this point, I have not loaded the fame 
package, or accessed those objects. If loaded, the same error occurs 
when trying to quit.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this.
