[R] interruption when pasting code into R under linux

[Sebastian Leuzinger]

hello,
has anyone come across the following rather mysterious problem: 

when pasting large bits of code (100 and more lines) into the R console with 
the central mouse button (under linux), only part of the code is pasted, and 
the text interrupts somewhere arbitrarily. It does not happen when smaller 
bits are pasted subsequently.

I use linux suse 9.3 with the latest version of R
