[R-SIG-Mac] bug in R.app GUI 1.40 for Mac when running R (Under development (unstable)

[William Revelle]

Simon and the other developers of the wonderful R.Gui for the  Mac,

The following code (anything using mvtnorm) reliably crashes R (under 
development)  when running from the GUI, but not when running  from 
the X11 window or under R-Studio.


  I reported this several months ago but was told to wait for a newer 
release.   I believe I have the latest versions of R (unstable), the 
R GUI, and mvtnorm.

Good luck and thanks for all the great work.
