Update taking into account the answer of Prof Ripley. ___________________________________________________
Below is a reproducing example that produces the crash. If I do exactly the same in R 3.1.2, it works perfectly. I have the lastest libcurl library (curl @7.40.0) installed So, perhaps indeed that the problem originates from RCurl, but the problem appears only in R 3.2. But before to check more carefully, I would like to know if others have also a problem using the same configuration : MacOS X 10.10.2 and R 3.2 or if it is only for me ?
