[Rd] R-crash using cut-and-paste (PR#472)

[dtrenkler@nts6.oec.uni-osnabrueck.de]

Dear R-Team,

sorry for bugging (:-)), it's me again. In the FAQ coming along with the
R distribution it reads:

If R executes an illegal instruction, or dies with an operating system
error message that indicates a problem in the program (as opposed to
something like "disk full"), then it is certainly a bug.

This encourages me to describe a crash I encountered a few minutes ago.

I had written a function in an  editor, copied it to the clip-board and
tried to establish it in my workspace (cut and paste). Suddenly I got
the following message form Windows NT (sorry it's german):


Die Anweisung "0x7762d4be" verweist auf Speicher in "0x0247c000".  Der
Vorgang "read" konnte nicht auf dem Speicher durchgeführt werden.
Klicken Sie auf "OK um die Anwendung zu beenden.

Rgui.exe-Fehler in Anwendung

There are very technical terms which I hope will be translated such
that it makes sense to you:

The instruction "0x7762d4be" points to memory in "0x0247c000".  "read"
could not be carried out in memory.  Click on "OK to stop the program.  

Clicking on OK caused R to close (and of course the most recent work was
lost)
