[R-SIG-Mac] R.app crashes at startup on MacOS Sierra

[Karl Thomaseth]

Hello all,

I regret to bother you, but since I upgraded to MacOS Sierra more than a month ago, I am experiencing
that whenever I open any “file.R”, which launches automatically R.app GUI the GUI crashes (see info below),
I removed also all .RData and .Rapp.history from my system with
sudo find / -name “.RData” -delete
sudo find / -name “.Rapp*” -delete
If I start R directly from the Dock, everything works fine.

Thank you

Karl Thomaseth
