The bug is now fixed in R-patched and R-devel.

I don't know if this helps you at all...

Hello,
I'm having a problem in R. The R GUI is crashing with a message to
contact Microsoft for the solution. I've contacted Microsoft and they
are of no help. Below is a distilled set of code that will cause the
crash. As you will see, there are two do-loops within which is a
"load"
command. The crash usually occurs after 200*400 (=80,000) to
2,000*400(=800,000) iterations.
Do you have any suggestions on work-arounds?
I can confirm it in R-patched as well. It happens on the very first
time through if you set gctorture() on, so it looks like somewhere in
there is a missing PROTECT, and the garbage collector is reclaiming
something that it shouldn't.
I'll try to track it down, but I'm not sure how quick I'll be. (My
house is full of contractors right now, so not a very nice place to
work.)
I don't know any workaround other than "avoid doing the buggy thing".
But I can't tell you what that is....
