The version of R.app you are using (built for OS X 10.6 before 10.9 was
released) is not compatible with Mavericks (10.9): are you using that?
If so, please update your R to 3.0.2, or if you do not want to do that,
update just R.app from r.research.att.com (which just now was serving me
an empty page).
BTW, the 'bug' seems to be in OS X system calls in 10.9: we have merely
worked around it.

Hi,
I have been experiencing a GUI bug for the last several weeks that I
have just been able to identify as a reproducible error: Spelling and
syntax mistakes that would normally result in an “object foobar not
found” or “unexpected foo in bar” error message now result in an
unrecoverable “caught segfault” error. The segfault can be triggered
regardless of dataset size, packages, and runtime. All segfaults seem to
report the same memory address. However, no other programs are reporting
memory errors, and I can make a dataset of arbitrary size and perform an
infinite number of typo-free calculations on it without encountering an
error. I also cannot reproduce the errors in the terminal using the same
R installation with the same typo-commands.
Example:
> taco <- c(1,2)
> mean(taco)
[1] 1.5
> mean(tac)
Error in mean(tac) : object 'tac' not found
*** caught segfault ***
address 0x7c0, cause 'memory not mapped'
Possible actions:
1: abort (with core dump, if enabled)
2: normal R exit
3: exit R without saving workspace
4: exit R saving workspace

I’m running:
R version 3.0.1 (2013-05-16) -- "Good Sport"
Copyright (C) 2013 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0 (64-bit)
[R.app GUI 1.61 (6492) x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0]
Crash report and Sessioninfo are attached. Any help/suggestions are
appreciated. I don’t type accurately enough to run R without occasional
typos, and it’s really making it difficult to work.
