Hi,

> x
a
10
But with gctorture turned on, I get:
> gctorture(TRUE)
> x <- c(a=10, b=20)
> length(x) <- 1
> x
a
"a" <---- ???
> x <- c(a=10, b=20)
> length(x) <- 3

Possible actions:
1: abort (with core dump, if enabled)
2: normal R exit
3: exit R without saving workspace
4: exit R saving workspace
This seems to have been around for a while (I get this with R 2.10,
2.9 and 2.8). Note that I don't get this with an unnamed vector.
This problem affects the methods package. I found it while
troubleshooting the "Protection stack overflow" I reported earlier
(see https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2009-July/054030.html)
but I can't tell yet whether the 2 issues are related or not.
It would be nice to see some reaction from the R developers
about these issues. Thanks in advance!

Error: protect(): protection stack overflow
Sorry this is something I already reported one week ago here
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2009-July/053973.html
but I just had a 2nd look at it and realized that the problem
can in fact be reproduced out of the .onLoad() hook. So I'm
reporting it again with a different subject.
See my sessionInfo() below. Thanks!
