[R-SIG-Mac] R 2.10.0 instability (G5 iMac, Tiger 10.4.11)

[Ken Knoblauch]

Good question.  I don't think so.  One way to generate it in
the GUI is to hit ESC.  The remark about R 2.9.2 in the
crash log seems to be a strong hint that there is some
GUI incompatibility, it seems to me.

While writing this, I've been playing around with the
terminal and it seems OK.  Here is the sessionInfo

R version 2.10.0 Patched (2009-11-11 r50399)
powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.1

locale:
[1] C

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods   base
