[rkward-devel] R engine has died

[Matt Conway]

Hey all-

I just got this error from Rkward:
Connection closed unexpectedly. Last error was: QLocalSocket: Remote closed

The R backend will be shut down immediately. This means, you can not use 
any more functions that rely on it. I.e. you can do hardly anything at 
all, not even save the workspace (but if you're lucky, R already did 
that). What you can do, however, is save any open command-files, the 
output, or copy data out of open data editors. Quit RKWard after that.

Since this should never happen, please write a mail to 
rkward-devel at lists.sourceforge.net, and tell us, what you were trying to 
do, when this happened. Sorry!


I'm not actually surprised that I crashed it, I accidentally tried to 
calculate the distances from every point to every other point using 
dist(coordinates(...)) in a dataset loaded using rgdal. There were 
18,000+ rows in the table. I tried using 'Interrupt running command' as 
well as ctrl-c multiple times to stop the process.


So, no complaints from me, but as the error did request me send this, 
here it is.
