[Rd] model.matrix memory problem (PR#13838)

[Torsten.Hothorn at stat.uni-muenchen.de]

Hi,

`model.matrix' might kill R with a segfault (on a illposed problem, but anyway):

mydf <- as.data.frame(sapply(1:40, function(i) gl(2, 100)))
f <- as.formula(paste("~ - 1 + ", paste(names(mydf), collapse = ":"), sep = ""))
X <- model.matrix(f, data = mydf)

  *** caught segfault ***
address 0x18, cause 'memory not mapped'
Segmentation fault

Best wishes,
Torsten
