Dear Virgilio,

Many thanks for taking a look at it!

That  'debug = TRUE' is already set!!!! It doesn't make any difference!!

I'm running R in Windows 7 through Parallels on a Macbook Pro  (OSx Mavericks). 
I have shut down OsX and booted purely into windows and it doesn't make any 
difference.
I've experienced this problem under both R 2.15 and R 3.01. It also happens 
both in R Studio and in the standard R interface. I have Openbugs version 
3.2.2. Running latest version of the packages used.

My thinking is that something is crashing OpenBugs when it attempts to open - 
but I cant' figure out how or why. I wonder is there a file size limit for 
passing things into OpenBugs ?

Appreciate any help!
James

Dear James,

I'll be happy to look into this but I will need more information about
your system. Also, could you run the code using 'debug=TRUE' as seen in
the error message?

Best wishes,

Virgilio
