Cheers for the follow up Gregor, I was following advice given by Prof. Ripley in a posting on R-Help about how to get the per mille character: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/48709.html It should look like a "%" character but with two circles at the bottom. I get the same (stack smashing) behaviour on my FC5 laptop with R 2.3.1 patched as below: > sessionInfo() Version 2.3.1 Patched (2006-09-02 r39223) i686-pc-linux-gnu attached base packages: [1] "methods" "stats" "graphics" "grDevices" "utils" "datasets" [7] "base" > version _ platform i686-pc-linux-gnu arch i686 os linux-gnu system i686, linux-gnu status Patched major 2 minor 3.1 year 2006 month 09 day 02 svn rev 39223 language R version.string Version 2.3.1 Patched (2006-09-02 r39223) G -- %~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~% Gavin Simpson [t] +44 (0)20 7679 0522 ECRC & ENSIS, UCL Geography, [f] +44 (0)20 7679 0565 Pearson Building, [e] gavin.simpsonATNOSPAMucl.ac.uk Gower Street, London [w] http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucfagls/cv/ London, UK.
