[R-SIG-Mac] R-GUI after Mac crashes after 2 image plots.

[Richard Friedman]

Dear R-on-Mac Community,

	I am using R2.6.0 with Bioconductor and I am finding that the RGui  
crashes after 2 image plots.
On the other hand if I use R from X11 it doesn't crash however many  
images I run.
Also the images form much faster in the X-terminal than in the R-GUI  
window.
I would like to have the  use of the GUI for pasting into the window,  
saving txt sessions etc.

Here is a record of the session:

# R disappears and I get an error message that states

The application R quit unexpectedly

Are you interested in what I see when I click "Report". it is long.

I originally tried to debug this with the help of Martin Morgan,
who saw my post on the Bioconductor Mailing list. After
some effort, he referred me to this list with the advice:

"If you pursue it there, the best case you can make for a bug in the
GUI is when (a) no other files (.Rprofile, .Rhistory, etc) are loaded,
(b) you load the data into a saved session, so no C-level code is
being called before the image is displayed, and (c) there are no
problems with console-based R --vanilla."

Anyway I would appreciate any advice anyone on this list can give
me with this problem and will run any tests suggested.

THANKS!
Rich
