[R] changing dir to network drive in Rgui caused crash ( 1.7. 0)

[Liaw, Andy]

Uwe & Marc,

Adding the --vanilla flag doesn't help.  Actually, the crash happens if I
browse to a folder on a mapped drive.  I.e., if I type in "q:\Andy" in the
text box, it works, but if I try to browse to Q:\Andy and then click on OK,
that's when it crashes.
