RStudio session aborted when loading some packages after upgrade to R 4.2

R session aborted: R encountered a fatal error. This occurs when trying to load some packages, such as glmulti, xlsx etc. There is no problem when loading them in original R terminal. I'm using the latest R 4.2 with RStudio 2022.02.0 Build 485. All packages are up to date

Same here loading "RJDemetra". Maybe is something related with Java depending packages...
Using R 4.1.3. works, but new version of RStudio (485 build) crashes with R4.2.

bug

When calling rJava::.jinit() in the RStudio console then RStudio shows the dialo…g "R Session Aborted" (R encountered a fatal error). This happens with R 4.2.0, but not with previous R versions. In plain R or when sourcing the command as local job in RStudio there is no error. ### System details RStudio Edition : Desktop RStudio Version : 2022.02.1 Build 461 OS Version : Windows 10 Pro, 21H2, 64 bit R Version : 4.2.0 (2022-04-22 ucrt, x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64) Java Version : 11.0.12 (Temurin - Eclipse Foundation amd64) ### Steps to reproduce the problem Start RStudio execute in the console: ``` install.packages("rJava") # if rJava is not installed yet rJava::.jinit() ``` Alternatives: - create a file `checkJava.R` that contains `rJava::.jinit()` - type `source("checkJava.R")` ### Describe the problem in detail When executing the code or sourcing it, RStudio reports that the R session aborted. ### Describe the behavior you expected R session should not crash. - [x] I have read the guide for [submitting good bug reports](https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/wiki/Writing-Good-Bug-Reports). - [x] I have installed the latest version of RStudio, and confirmed that the issue still persists. - [x] If I am reporting an RStudio crash, I have included a [diagnostics report](https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200321257-Running-a-Diagnostics-Report). - [x] I have done my best to include a minimal, self-contained set of instructions for consistently reproducing the issue.

describing a problem related to rJava and R4.2.
In the bottom of the bug-report there is a link to a patched version of R4.2. I have tested with package xlsx, and that now works.

The patched version works for me. Thanks. I'll post the patched link here if anyone has the same issue: Download the R-4.2.0 Patched build for Windows. The R-project for statistical computing.
