[R] Avoid R shell process echoes of piped inputs from a different programming language on Linux

[Duncan Murdoch]

I don't know the answer to your question.  If nobody else answers it,
I'd suggest asking in R-devel instead, and include some simple code that
illustrates the problem, e.g. using "echo" to pipe something into an R
process and explaining what part of the output you want to suppress.
