[R-SIG-Mac] Follow up from: Re: [R] How to start R ...

[Rob Goedman]

These messages have been showing up for several months when starting  
R.app (64-bit only) from the 'outside', e.g. through AppleScript from  
an editor. Simon pointed this out back in April.

The good news is that (on my system at least) the messages are gone in  
SnowLeopard!
