[R] RODBC Bug?

[Samir Mishra]

I'm not sure if this problem is repeatable or particular to my machine. 

The following works fine -
> odbcConnect("demoteam", uid = "demo", pwd = "demo")

This causes R to crash -
> oracle.info <- list(channel = "demoteam", uid = "demo", pwd = "demo")
> demo.db.connect <- function(ora.info = oracle.info) {
+ 	channel <- odbcConnect(ora.info$channel, uid = ora.info$uid, 
+ 	pwd = ora.info$pwd)
+ 	if(channel == -1) stop("Connection Failure")
+ 	channel
+}
> #R shuts down as soon as I submit the next command
> channel <- demo.db.connect()

Thanks.
