[R-SIG-Mac] Interesting R crash

[Steve Lianoglou]

Hi,

This is the first time I've seen this, and I'm not sure exactly how
this happening because for all intents and purposes I was interacting
with another application (Skitch) when R crashed, but I thought I'd
just put the relevant info here and perhaps it might ring a bell to
the devs. I'm not sure that I can reproduce it, though I'll try to do
so later.

Background:

I was marking up a screenshot (using Skitch) of a (gg)plot I just
whipped up and R exploded with the error below while it was (I
thought) idling in the background.

I am running R-3.0.1 through emacs (24.3) & ess (13.05) through iTerm2
(1.0.0.20...), so no R.app was running, but I am plotting to the
quartz device. As I was mucking about with Skitch, I got an OS dialog
box telling me that R unexpectedly quit. The error that was dumped to
the *R* buffer is below.
