Thank you for your quick reply.
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.
The reason I suggested this is that I tried to reproduce the error and
opened up a new R, so the default error sessions. And when I typed
heaD(), it didn't crash my program, but did print out the following on
my screen above the prompt:
'Error in args(heaD) : no function to return from, jumping to top level'
which is why I thought it was creating an error. Then when I then did
options(error=recover) and typed heaD() it froze R.
Please send me the crash report when it happens so we can have a closer look.
Also please try the latest version of R.
How do I get a crash report? There is nothing on the screen to report --
R hangs and doesn't ever finish and I have to manually force quit the R
(using the Mac interface of right clicking on the Rapp button and
clicking 'Force Quit') Where is the crash report found?
I'm afraid I can't change R right now because I'm in the middle of a
data analysis project and can't handle any possible disruption until
that is finished (R 2.12 only came out a couple of weeks ago). I take it
that I can't disable the feature in the meantime?
Also FWIW I see multicore in your list of packages - you cannot use multicore
from the GUI (see ?multicore).
Yes, thanks. I do know that. I copied 'starter' code from another code
that I normally run in batch. But nothing I was doing used multicore.
Thanks,
Elizabeth

Is there a way to turn off this feature? Failing that, some work around? Its
not responding to escape/ctrl-c etc.
Thanks,
