[R] A problem someone should know about

[Richard M. Heiberger]

My error is Mac because I don't use R-Studio.  The phrasing of Ian's
error is similar to the error I reported
and still occasionally get.  As I said, it is random and therefore not
reproducible.

This is consistent with the comments on the rstudio link you pointed us to.
