Hi!

@Samuel: Another very similar bug report came in shortly before yours. I'm 
replying to both at once.

Thanks for the detailed info! Apparently we seem to be having a problem on 
some, but not all MacOSX installations. So far we have not been able to figure 
out a pattern, so it would be really helpful, if you could provide us with 
more details:

ATM there are various different versions of RKWard for MacOSX. Could you tell 
us, which one you installed (filename of the .dmg, or - in case you installed 
via Macports - the name and variant of the port)?

Also, which version of R do you have installed?

Despite the error message, please go to the RKWard settings (I keep forgetting 
where they are on Mac, and my Mac is busy recompiling; I believe it's in 
"Preferences"). Go to the "Debug"-page. At the bottom there is a note, telling 
you where debug output is being written to. Could you please post that file?

Also, do you find a file rkward.rbackend.XYZ in the same directory? If so, and 
it's non-empty, please post that as well.

Thanks!
Thomas
