Yes, all the ones in regex.c that Doug mentioned. Here's a sample
of these and others (warnings related to graphics/X stuff have been
omitted):

I'll see what I can do about getting a more reproducible error. 

Any tips on what to look for if I'm running R within GDB? I don't have
much experience with the debugger. I mostly just use it to see where my
programs are dying. But R is not -- it just gives strange error messages.

TIA,
Brad
