Sure: Info.plist in the GUI used to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to $R_HOME/ lib for historical reasons - this was necessary before we started linking libR.dylib with the full path (AFAIR that was R 2.0.0 or earlier). R 2.3.0 now comes with custom gcc libraries (from gcc 4.0.3) thus setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH overrides the default search path so the corresponding system libraries are no longer used even if other applications require them. My tests didn't show it, because it doesn't hurt a vanilla system - R.app works and there are no other modules, but if the user installed some extra modules that are loaded at run-time (e.g. input helpers, haxies etc.), those require the system version of the libraries, so they fail, sometimes even killing R.app as well.
