[R] interrupting embedded R

[Klaus Juenemann]

Hi, 

I am using R in an embedded fashion, i.e. I am initialising R with
'Rf_initEmbeddedR'
from a C program (which in my application is in turn embedded into Java
through JNI).

Now I want to interrupt a running R function. My first idea was to send
a SIGINT from 
another thread but that caused the whole thing to crash. My guess is
that the longjmp 
involved does not interact well with the rest of my program.

Any comments ?
Any other ideas how I can savely interrupt an embedded R session ?
Any help is greatly appreciated. 

Best
Klaus
