[R] mapply() gives seg fault

[Robin Hankin]

Hello again

thanks for this.  What I should have asked is, should one always report
repeatable seg faults (even if functions are called with 
inappropriate arguments)?

[the emacs bug report FAQ says "yes" but I don't think there is a 
similar policy for R].
