[Rd] Possible bug in Rcons_vprintf

[Martin Maechler]

Thanks, Jeffrey,

that (change) looks very logical, reasonable, ...
and I'll commit a patch to R-devel ASAP.

On the other hand, I'm currently not intending to port the fix
to the currently "deep frozen" R-2.4-branch [because "you never know ..."]
unless you can argue a bit more why the change seems important 
(or at least can demonstrate bogous behavior that is fixed by it).

Martin
