Dear list, Does anyone experienced a crash of the XML package, using the latest version of R 3.1.0? Below you can find the original email sent to Duncan, but didn't get any reply so far.

Below you can find the result of a simple command: > library(XML) > doc <- xmlTreeParse("http://www.omegahat.org/Scripts/Data/mtcars.xml";) *** caught segfault *** address 0x18, cause 'memory not mapped' Traceback: 1: .Call("RS_XML_getDefaultValiditySetting", as.integer(val), PACKAGE = "XML") 2: xmlValidity() 3: xmlTreeParse("http://www.omegahat.org/Scripts/Data/mtcars.xml";) Possible actions: 1: abort (with core dump, if enabled) 2: normal R exit 3: exit R without saving workspace 4: exit R saving workspace Selection: I tried to replicate that on a Windows machine, but the command didn't work because the file seems not to be present anymore on the omegahat website. > doc <- xmlTreeParse("http://www.omegahat.org/Scripts/Data/mtcars.xml";) failed to load HTTP resource Error: 1: failed to load HTTP resource I've managed to find it elsewhere, and it proved the command does indeed work: > doc <- xmlTreeParse("http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/mtcars.xml";) > So it seems that on a Windows system it works as expected, but not with the latest version of R under MacOS. It works very well on R 3.0.3, but not on R 3.1.0 (below the exact details of my R installation).
