Ipython notebook crash using rmagic extension
Question: I am trying to run the [rmagic functions
extension](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/raw.github.com/ipython/ipython/3607712653c66d63e0d7f13f073bde8c0f209ba8/docs/examples/notebooks/rmagic_extension.ipynb)
example, but ipython crashes with console error message '\u used without hex
digits in character string starting "c:\u". I suspect that this is an R error
message caused by rmagic passing c:\path instead of c:\ or c:/.

There is probably an easy way to fix this (IPython or Notebook startup
parameters?) , but, as a newbie to rmagic and rpy2, I need some expert help
please.

The following simple snippet from the example causes the kernel to die:

    
    
    import rpy2
    %load_ext rmagic
    %R x=1 
    

I am a windows user...
