You failed to provide an example to reproduce the alleged bug, but the=20

well the bug was obvious, I told that I can trigger it and that the
proposed fix fixed it - no need to provide an example.

But it would be helpful to provide an example, so that we can test the fix. As Brian told you, your fix was no good: it was not against the current code.


issue does seem to be using lines beyond the documented line length.

exactly. one can crash R with too long lines.

Then the bug is also in your code, for sending lines that are too long. R shouldn't crash on user error, but "don't do that" is an appropriate response.

So it would have only affected people who did that ....

or use auto-generated code like e.g. swig produces.

Then swig should be modified to produce valid code.

And generating a new report (PR#11438) was distinctly unfriendly.

I did what I was told, reply and keep the PR#11281 in the subject. I am
sensing another bug.

If after studing the R FAQ you have a reproducible example in a
current=20
version of R (R-devel or R-patched), plus add it to *this* report
number.

I don't intend to play with devel versions of R, I was just trying to
get swig for R2.7 to work. Sorry that it triggered a bug in R. =EF=BB=BFI w=
ill
try R2.7.1 when it is released and report back.

If you aren't interested in being helpful by testing fixes for your code, then I doubt if any of us are going to go out of our way to help you with your errors.
