Sorry for the version mess; here are the versions I've got installed
and on which I can reproduce the core dump:
C:\>R --version
R version 3.2.5 (2016-04-14)
Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)
Running under: Windows 7 x64 (build 7601) Service Pack 1
C:\>R --version
R version 3.3.0 RC
The following core dumps R 3.2.5, R 3.3.0 RC and R devel on Windows.
I have tried to use a minimal setup (for all versions tested), i.e.
C:\> cd C:\
C:\> set PATH=C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-33~1.0RC\bin
C:\> set R_DEFAULT_PACKAGES=base
C:\> R --quiet --vanilla
> close(fifo("foo.tmp", open="wb"))
[core
