Thanks Martin. On further testing, it seems that the segmentation
fault can only occur when the amount of obtainable memory is
sufficiently high. On my machine (admittedly with other processes
running):
$ R --vanilla --max-mem-size=30G -e "x <- c(0L, -2e9:2e9)"
Segmentation fault
$ R --vanilla -

I can only reproduce on Windows, but reliably (both 4.0.0 and 4.0.2):
$> R --vanilla
x <- c(0L, -2e9:2e9)
# > Segmentation fault
Tried to reproduce on Linux but the above worked as expected. Not an
issue merely with the length of the vector; for example, x <-
rep_len(1:10, 1e10) works, though th
