   This appears to have been fixed in 0.63.2 (I tested both under
   Linux and under a 'just this morning compiled' Windows version (that I will 
   make available during the week).

  Only tested under Linux. Problem seems due to the initialization of fonts,
  i.e., 
  if no graphics device is open -> segmentation fault
  if a graphics device is open but is 'virgin'=no font yet used->
            strwidth("abcd")=INF
  after some plotting -> rigth results.
