Hi Phil,

Thanks for the bug report.

I'm puzzled. As you got this from the pre-built deb, the exact same compile
options etc pp applied as did for x86, powerpc, sparc, ... yet nobody noticed
it there.  Also, you could try the never 2.1.0 pre-release that is unstable
since Tuesday (presuming an amd64 binary has been created).

I suspect that this may be more of an amd64 terminal emulation bug than an
R, so I am leaning towards closing it as far as Debian and its R package are
concerned.  Could you live with that ?

I'll also CC Peter who, as I recall, has been using R on amd64 for quite some
time.  Any idea, Peter?

Regards, Dirk
