After the following commands (issued just after starting R) set.seed(1) n <- 600 x <- rnorm(n) y <- rnorm(n) aFactor <- factor(rep(1:5, length = n)) plot(x, y, col = aFactor)
R prints *** caught segfault *** address 0x10, cause 'memory not mapped' Segmentation fault and dies. (Yes, I know that using a factor as `col' is wrong; I discovered this by a mistake. :-) Substituting "aFactor <- factor(rep(1:5, length = n))" with "aFactor <- rep(1:5, length = n)" (obviously) works as expected. When n is smaller, for instance 400, no seg.fault seems to happen. I also tested this on R 2.3.1 (that's actually where I discovered it :-), and the same thing happens there. --please do not edit the information below-- Version: platform = x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu arch = x86_64 os = linux-gnu system = x86_64, linux-gnu status = alpha major = 2 minor = 4.0 year = 2006 month = 09 day = 11 svn rev = 39258 language = R version.string = R version 2.4.0 alpha (2006-09-11 r39258) Locale: LC_CTYPE=no_NO.UTF-8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=no_NO.UTF-8;LC_COLLATE=no_NO.UTF-8;LC_MONETARY=no_NO.UTF-8;LC_MESSAGES=no_NO.UTF-8;LC_PAPER=no_NO.UTF-8;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=no_NO.UTF-8;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C Search Path: .GlobalEnv, package:methods, package:stats, package:graphics, package:grDevices, package:utils, package:datasets, Autoloads, package:base -- Bjørn-Helge Mevik ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
