[R] R won't start keeps crashing

[Ivan Calandra]

I'm no expert, but checking the R-help list, I got the impression that 
saving a workspace often leads to problems.
The interesting question (for me) would be to know why and how the 
corrupted file got corrupted, and then, what to do to avoid the problem 
if one really wants to save the workspace.

For you Bazman76, I would advise you to never save the workspace. Save 
all command lines in a script (*.R) and important objects to files 
(either with save() and then load(), or one of the write functions, or 
saveObject()/loadObject from package R.utils, and so on).
Someone please correct me if it is a bad practice.

HTH,
Ivan
