library(file) segfaults on solaris (PR#1942)

[stvjc@channing.harvard.edu]

luke's demonstration of external references, at

www.stat.umn.edu/~luke/file_0.0-0.tar.gz

(accessible through the developer page) causes
a segfault on solaris 2.8 as soon as library(file)
is attempted.  it runs fine on RH 7.2.  the segfault
on solaris occured for R 1.5.1 and 1.6 (8-25 image)

a quick poke at gdb (which i can only get running
for R 1.6, though this bug report is for 1.5.1) 
shows the failure to be at eval.c:351
