RStudio crash on importing stata file

[sjkiss]

There is a GitHub repo here that replicates the problem, but this code will do so as well.
On reading in the Stata file, RStudio crashes immediately. I note that this happened in another issue

library(haven)
out<-read_dta(file="https://github.com/sjkiss/ces19/raw/main/2019%20Canadian%20Election%20Study%20-%20Online%20Survey%20v1.0.dta")

I am also having the exact same issue as described above. The files used to work fine, but not they crash R immediately.

Same problem here. The R session is aborted in RStudio when I try to read a .dta file using read_dta(). I am using R version 4.1.0 and haven version 2.4.1 with Windows 10 as OS. The file has been generated with Stata version 15. This Stackoverflow post suggests that this may be related to changes in ReadStat.

Hi all, It looks like the bug in #79 was re-introduced following some other updates.
I've put together a simple fix, will chuck a PR up shortly.

Issue #620 is a duplicate of this one.
