[R-sig-hpc] doSMP warnings and crash on WinXP

[Johnson, Cedrick W.]

Howdy-

When I first initialize a doSMP object (specifying two cores) as below, 
within RStudio (latest) it crashes the app. I brought up the regular R 
console (2.13.0) and tried to do the same thing but received some 
interesting warnings:

 > library(doSMP)

foreach: simple, scalable parallel programming from Revolution Analytics

 > tmp = startWorkers(2)
Warning messages:
1: In startWorkers(2) : there is an existing doSMP session using doSMP1
2: In startWorkers(2) : there is an existing doSMP session using doSMP2

Here's my dillemma. Where is said existing doSMP session? Could it be a 
"dirty" file leftover somewhere from a previous call that's causing this 
to 1) crash RStudio and 2) generate these warnings? A quick look at the 
processlist doesn't show anything running. I've even tried doing this 
after a clean reboot with the same error.
