I have the following experience. If I use, for example, tmp <- recordPlot() in a session, then immediately the saved plot replays successfully using replayPlot() in the same session. But not in the next R session. See examples below, copy/pasted from my shell window.
The first R session is brand new; no saved objects left over from a previous session. I also have the same experience with R 3.0.1 patched on a linux machine (RHEL). Is this a known or expected behavior?
