I doubt it -- partly because I cannot reproduce it and partly because it uses try(..., silent=TRUE) so that the error setting doesn't matter. Please send me the crash report when it happens so we can have a closer look. Also please try the latest version of R. Also FWIW I see multicore in your list of packages - you cannot use multicore from the GUI (see ?multicore). Thanks, Simon > Is there a way to turn off this feature? Failing that, some work around?
