[R-SIG-Mac] R crashes with OSX 10.9 ?

[Simon Urbanek]

The most recent nightlies (from r.research.att.com ) now work on 10.9. The issue is probably in the 10.9 OS, related to autorelease pools (Apple has broken things there before), but disabling optimization for one file seems to work around it ... 

Cheers,
Simon
