A post to r-help today prompted me to see if I could reproduce the
problems the poster was having with a hang as a result of access to a
pdf vignette for package zoo. I was not able to get a hang with using
(from the GUI):
vignette("zoo")
but I was able to get a hang when access the zoo help Index and
choosing the "overview" link at the top of the help browser page. The
OP was using R 2.11.1, while I was using R 2.10.1. We both were using
OSX 10.5.8.
I then updated to yesterdays stable R 2.11.1 from the ATT page and
can still get the segfault, although it no longer hangs. It lets me
exit gracefully and even lets me copy portions of the console window:
> ?zoo
starting httpd help server ... done
*** caught segfault ***
address 0x101e90000, cause 'memory not mapped'
Possible actions:
1: abort (with core dump, if enabled)
2: normal R exit
3: exit R without saving workspace
4: exit R saving workspace
