UPD: there is similar behaviour when I do this in usual script setting. As the file is available online, it is easy to reproduce an error. Please create a new R Notebook and execute the following piece (note that I had to remove three apostrophes before `{r}` and in the end of the chunk):\r\n```\r\n{r}\r\ndownload.file(\"http://www.gks.ru/free_doc/2017/demo/t3_3.xls\", \"deaths-russia-2017.xls\")\r\nlibrary(readxl)\r\ndf <- read_excel(\"deaths-russia-2017.xls\")\r\n```\r\n\r\nI immediately encounter an error\r\n`seek: wanted to seek to sector 22085632 (0x1510000) loc=11307844096`\r\nand session crashes. I am wondering if it is reproducible (I did it on two different computers with different versions of R and RStudio; `readxl` is latest), and if yes is there any way to fix this?\r\n\r\nThanks in advance, attaching sessionInfo just in case. \r\n```\r\n> sessionInfo()\r\nR version 3.4.0 (2017-04-21)`\r\nPlatform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)\r\nRunning under: Windows 7 x64 (build 7601) Service Pack 1\r\n\r\nMatrix products: default\r\n\r\nlocale:\r\n[1] LC_COLLATE=Russian_Russia.1251  LC_CTYPE=Russian_Russia.1251    LC_MONETARY=Russian_Russia.1251\r\n[4] LC_NUMERIC=C                    LC_TIME=Russian_Russia.1251    \r\n\r\nattached base packages:\r\n[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods   base     \r\n\r\nother attached packages:\r\n[1] readxl_1.0.0\r\n\r\nloaded via a namespace (and not attached):\r\n[1] compiler_3.4.0   tools_3.4.0      yaml_2.1.16      Rcpp_0.12.16     cellranger_1.1.0`\r\n```"}}
