x = cbind(a=1:10,b=1:10)

View(x)
View(x)
View(x)
View(x)

   then try to close the latest window by clicking on the "x" 
(close-window) icon in the corner.
   I can usually provoke a segmentation fault this way ...
   Ubuntu Hardy, up to date.

   [on a related topic, can anyone tell me why View() usually
doesn't work when I try it on someone else's Mac?  I don't
use Macs myself so haven't tried to figure this one out -- I
know, I could write to R-SIG-MAC about it ...]
