 Hi all --

I'm seeing the following commands reliably produce a crash in RGui,
 version 2.0.1, for both my home and office machine:

  rm(list = ls(all = TRUE));
  load(dataset.R);
  library(wle);
  data.wle = wle.lm(abortion ~ year * lib.con + age + gender +
 + urbanism + census + income + church.att + children + educ +
 + religion.imp, data = data.set);

dataset.R is moderately sized (about 200k compressed), and the
 command works just fine with lm rather than wle.lm.  Since I'm not
 sure where the bug lies -- in wle, in R, or in RGui -- I'm not sure
 where I should report this, or if it's already been reported.
What should I do?

There is good advice in the posting guide.  Following that

1) Re-do the tests in the current version of R, preferably a beta of 
2.1.1.

2) Read the rw-FAQ, do the debugging reported there (with Dr MinGW or gdb) 
and find where it is crashing.  (This is very likely to be in wle.)
If it is in wle, send a report to the maintainer.  If it is in R, send a 
report to R-bugs.  In either case, supply enough data to reproduce the 
problem.

Yeah -- I upgraded to R 2.1.0, and it still reliably crashes.

 2) Read the rw-FAQ, do the debugging reported there (with Dr MinGW or 
 gdb) and find where it is crashing.  (This is very likely to be in wle.)
 If it is in wle, send a report to the maintainer.  If it is in R, send a 
 report to R-bugs.

I'm a little loath to download and install a debugger, as I've never 
done it before.  I don't even know what to look for if I were to install it.

  In either case, supply enough data to reproduce the
 problem.

I can easily provide the datafile which seems to be causing it. 
It's only 200k, so if anyone is interested in pursuing the matter I'd be 
happy to send it to them.  This is on Windows XP, btw.

[R] RGui crashes on wle call

Hi all --

I'm seeing the following commands reliably produce a crash in RGui,
