In Windows XP, the matrix() function crashes the program when 'dimnames' is an empty list:
matrix(1:4, nrow=2, dimnames=list()) # R has encountered a problem and needs to close ... This bug is specific to WinXP, as Linux64 handles this situation more gracefully: matrix(1:4, nrow=2, dimnames=list()) Error in matrix(1:4, nrow = 2, dimnames = list()) : invalid type (environment) for 'dimnames' (must be a vector) Thanks, Arni R 2.8.0-patched on WinXP ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
