[R-SIG-Mac] mach_override

[Simon Urbanek]

This is a typical issue illustrating why haxies are a bad idea and a huge security risk - they get loaded into every application, so the code producing those errors is not actually R.app but a broken haxie (here DefaultFolderX). It has absolutely nothing to do with R ... it's 3rd party code injected into R at user's request so R can't do anything about it ... :/
