Thanks for the response. Having spent a lot of the day trying to solve this, as R is essential for my workflow, I've tried to debug via the binary only as I haven't yet got the toolchain working - I'm quite inexperienced at this.
I've confirmed the problem is exactly as described in the initial (albeit old) bug report. The exception that's thrown within Visual Studio is: "Exception thrown at 0x00007FFBF1E3C0C8 (ntdll.dll) in Rterm.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF." As the problem appears to be persistent and cross many versions of Windows, could it hint towards this being a problem within R's codebase rather than my specific setup? I understand that this is hard to reproduce, however, and I'll doing my best at trying to compile/debug from source if there are no obvious answers.
