[R] mtrace function

[Mark.Bravington at csiro.au]

Thanks for passing that on, Uwe.

There are two separate things here:

 - Uwe's problem is a bug: there is an experimental source-code-debugging feature in 'debug' that doesn't work properly yet (pending a change in the 'parser' package) and for some stupid reason I'd set the default to "use experimental feature". I have changed that in the version I'm about to upload. sorry...

 - The debug window having blank bits: see 'package?debug' and the "Display bugs" section where this is dealt with. AFAICS it's a long-standing problem with the tcl/tk and R. I use Windows XP and have no problems-- having followed my own advice in the doco ;).

bye
Mark

This is something you should report to the maintainer.
I tried to reproduce (never using that package myself), and got when
trying the examples from ?mtrace:

library("debug")
mtrace(glm) # turns tracing on

Loading required package: parser
Loading required package: Rcpp
Error in numbered.id[n] <- attr(src.expr[[i]], "id") :
   replacement has length zero

Mark, I think we need an update for CRAN.
