Dear R users & developers, I coming across the following issue since R 2.15.2 32-bit (running on Windows XP 32.bit; some output left out for conciseness):
> setInternet2(TRUE) > require(rJava) > .jinit() > getCRANmirrors() > system("ls" , intern = TRUE) Error in system("ls", intern = TRUE) : CreateThread failed My details are as follows: > sessionInfo() R version 2.15.2 (2012-10-26) Platform: i386-w64-mingw32/i386 (32-bit) locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=German_Switzerland.1252 LC_CTYPE=German_Switzerland.1252 LC_MONETARY=German_Switzerland.1252 [4] LC_NUMERIC=C LC_TIME=German_Switzerland.1252 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] rJava_0.9-3 The failure appears since R 2.15.2, i.e. also with R 2.15.2patched and with R-Devel. It does, however, not appear with e.g. R 2.15.1 or R 2.14.2. Also, I don't get the issue with R 2.15.2 64-bit (running on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit). Also note that the issue seems related to rJava in that running the same without the rJava part (and therefore without initializing a JVM instance) runs fine: > setInternet2(TRUE) > getCRANmirrors() > system("ls" , intern = TRUE) Any ideas on what the issue might be?
