Thanks for that follow-up. I was unaware of this bug report over there.

I thought I did file the patch we have been applying (and which I got from
Johannes, who participated in the bugzilla discussion you point to, and whom
I CC'ed here) as a bugzilla bug report. But I don't find it now :-/

In any event -- I can't help much beyond patchin the Debian package, and we
can only hope R Core eventually acts. So we need to keep some pressure on
them.
