[R-sig-ME] rgui crash with lme4_0.999375-0

[Parsons, Van L. (CDC/CCHIS/NCHS)]

Hello,
 I have experienced the Rgui for Windows crashing  when using weights in
the lme4_0.999375-0  lmer function. 
 
  The lme4_0.99875-9  version works fine. 
 
  I use the lme4 provided sleepstudy data with weights = Days to
reproduce the problem.
