I think I've found the cause of the crash. I had set up my plist so that, by defauly, R-GUI would not ask me whether I want to save my workspace, but rather would assume I don't want to save. Following Simon's e-mail of 7/17, I typed the following into the terminal window:
defaults write org.R.R-project.R save.on.exit -string no This is apparently what is causing the crash. Changing it back to "ask" makes it stop crashing. Is it just me?
