This is now fixed in R-devel and R-patched as of r50774. It should
show up in Windows builds tomorrow. There were probably other special
characters besides "?" that it handled incorrectly; thanks for noticing.

Dear R developers,
?help.search
...opens a tab in my browser (Firefox 3.5.6, Win XP):
http://127.0.0.1:31642/library/utils/html/help.search.html
When I click on the link for "?",
(http://127.0.0.1:31642/library/utils/help/?)
in the last line of "Details", I get an error message:
"Server error: invalid response from R".
Similarly,
The link to "??" (http://127.0.0.1:31642/library/utils/help/??) found
under http://127.0.0.1:31642/library/utils/html/help.html "See also"
gives same error message.
On the other hand, in the help text for "help"
(http://127.0.0.1:31642/library/utils/html/help.html) the link to "?",
found under "See also", is
http://127.0.0.1:31642/library/utils/html/Question.html, which seems to
be the correct link.
I did not manage to find anything on this topic in recent bug reports on
"Documentation" and "Documentation fixed".
Best regards,
Henrik Pärn
