Severity: important

Hi Dirk,

My strong hunch is that this bug should just be forwarded upstream but
it might have something to do with libc6 on Debian. To reproduce it, do

args(utils:::edit.matrix)
mat <- matrix(rnorm(30), nrow = 10, ncol = 3)
edit(mat, edit.row.names = TRUE) #crash

The only other version of R I can get my hands on at the moment (2.5.1,
not Debian) does not crash but throws an uninformative error. This crash
also occurs when calling fix(), which calls edit(). It does not occur if
the matrix being edited has rownames already. A little gdb output is
pasted below. -- Thanks, Ben
