Unfortunately that does not affect e.g. 'Rgui LC_ALL=C' so a more
comprehensive C-level fix would be needed.
I did wonder if mingwex was the problem, but in theory at least it knows
about the C locale (cp = 0), and the crash was coming from MSVCRT.dll, in
the conversion of an ASCII string to wchar. Since it works in other
Windows base locales it did seem specific to Thai (which is still a
single-byte locale).

Re: [Rd] Sys.setlocale upsets windows graphics device (PR#8887)
If a return value of locale does not have a period, a function of libmingwex
gives back NULL in strchr and refers to NULL pointer in atoi.
But it will be right to fix mingw...

Re: [Rd] Sys.setlocale upsets windows graphics device (PR#8887)
I tried this by installing Thai on my laptop (WinXP) and rebooting into
Thai, and it failed for me. The crash is in mbstowcs in MSVCRT.dll,
and does not happen in any English locale I tried, only C.
So I am afraid it is a Windows (or VC++) bug specific to your locale, and
the only workaround is to avoid the C locale. (In any case, the C locale
does not work properly on Windows, and seems equivalent in most respects
to US English, with WinANSI encoding (rather than ASCII).)

Don't try to do graphics in the C locale on your computer?
I suspect this is a font problem in Windows, in that your fonts may be
specific to the Thai localization. But without a means of reproducing
this, I can only guess.
If you can set up a debugger (see the rw-FAQ), you may be able to give us
some additional clues as the where the crash is occuring.

Because of the issue mentioned in the CHANGES file, the change to the C
locale was reverted by opening a graphics window.

Re: [Rd] Sys.setlocale upsets windows graphics device (PR#8887)
Hi,
We tried it on 3 separate windows XP computers using version 2.3.0.
The original locale is set for Thailand on all 3.
So how do we fix it? Is there another patch?
And why does the crash not happen with earlier R versions (eg. 2.2.1) on the
same computer?

Thanks

Works perfectly for me. There was a bug in 2.2.1, but it was fixed in
2.2.1 patched (see CHANGES).
What locale were you changing from? (This might be a Windows problem
specific to your locale.)
