Dear Professor Ripley, a. I apologise for not including the file. I sent the E-Mail to=20 r-b...@r-project.org with an attachment, but the attachment evidently got=20 lost. However the text of the file is as follows:
--- CUT HERE ---- gctorture() characters <- intToUtf8(200:300) indices <- rep(sequence(5),10) substrings <- substring(characters,indices,indices + 5) factor(substrings) --- CUT HERE --- b. There is no Unicode file involved, the Unicode comes from the=20 "intToUtf8" function. c. The operating system is Windows XP Professional (2002), Service Pack 2. d. I have just tried installing R 2.9.2. This also crashes.

Also, we need exact reproduction instructions:=20 how did you tell R this was a UTF-8 file? If you copy-pasted it, what=20 did you copy it from? The posting guide and FAQ did ask you not to report on obsolete=20 versions of R, so please do test a current version before replying=20 with details of where the file is. It would also be helpful to have your exact OS, as the error appears=20 to be in MSVCRT.dll, an operating system component.
