Bug introduced in 9.0 and fixed in 9.0.1

I think I am experiencing the same/similar problems as this user.

Mathematica Version: 9.0 for Mac OS X x86 (64-bit) (November 20, 2012)

Computer: Mac OS X 10.11.5

When I run the code below, LisPolarPlot works fine until I include the option PolarAxes->True at which point it spits out reams of error messages. Any advice on solving this issue or implementing an alternative to achieve similar results?

list = Table[{t, Sin[t]}, {t, 0, Pi, 0.1}];
ListPolarPlot[list, PolarAxes -> False]
ListPolarPlot[list, PolarAxes -> True]

For reference, what version and OS are you on? – J. M.'s missing motivation Jun 16 '16 at 13:44
Good point. Updated question. – Tom Jun 16 '16 at 13:47
MMA 9.0.1.0 in Ubuntu 12.04 64bit - no error :) – Sumit Jun 16 '16 at 13:52
I can't reproduce it on the same setup as OP http://i.stack.imgur.com/ot6sv.png – Jason B. Jun 16 '16 at 13:53
My colleague who is on an identical setup to me reproduces the error – Tom Jun 16 '16 at 13:54
@Jasonisnolongerapostdoc you're running different versions; the dates are different. What does "ReleaseID" /. SystemInformation["Kernel"] return? – rcollyer Jun 16 '16 at 13:59
@Tom what does "ReleaseID" /. SystemInformation["Kernel"] return? – rcollyer Jun 16 '16 at 13:59
@rcollyer - I get "9.0.2.0 (4167912, 4167246)" - I can try it on 9.0.0 – Jason B. Jun 16 '16 at 14:01
@Jasonisnolongerapostdoc ha! that's what I guessed you were running. I can run it here, too, but it will take me a few minutes to unpack 9.0.0. – rcollyer Jun 16 '16 at 14:03

Regardless of whether or not I can reproduce it on 9.0.0, or not, I can't reproduce it on later releases, nor can I reproduce it on 8.0.1. So, it seems isolated to a narrow set of builds. So, if possible, upgrade. – rcollyer Jun 16 '16 at 14:05

Can confirm this bug in version 9.0.0.0 - @rcollyer is the upgrade to 9.0.2 free? If so that seems easier than hunting down a workaround – Jason B. Jun 16 '16 at 14:14
@Jasonisnolongerapostdoc I have no clue. Something to contact support about. – rcollyer Jun 16 '16 at 14:20
"ReleaseID" /. SystemInformation["Kernel"] returns "9.0.0.0 (3825048, 3824632)" – Tom Jun 16 '16 at 14:30
I'll ask the IT guys if they can upgrade to 9.0.2, thanks for the suggestion – Tom Jun 16 '16 at 14:30
Perhaps changing PolarTicks helps? – Feyre Jun 16 '16 at 14:31
@Tom I'd ask to see if you could upgrade to 10.4.1, but that's just me. :) – rcollyer Jun 16 '16 at 15:09
I'd love to, but I think licenses cost thousands of pounds for commercial/research purposes and I'm not in charge of the budget! – Tom Jun 16 '16 at 15:12
Wolfram said we can upgrade to 9.0.1 for free (they made no mention of 9.0.2) – Tom Jun 18 '16 at 11:46
