Duncan:

I'll check the site you referred to.

On the machine with problems, powering down and restarting, then running R
-d gdb, run --vanilla < GRASS-Ex.R - as Peter suggested, led to the same
sig11, which makes me feel that maybe it's not just memory, because R is
certainly loaded somewhere else in physical space with no GUI running, and
nothing coming from cache. If it's any help, a rerun with the GUI up to
copy & paste output gives:

rst.pt> rast.put(G, lname = nameR[2], layer = tr3, title = "Cubic trend
surface")
CREATING SUPPORT FILES FOR ex.tr3.in

rst.pt> rast.put(G, lname = nameR[3], layer = kr3, title = "Kriged
surface")
CREATING SUPPORT FILES FOR ex.kr3.in

rst.pt> rast.put(G, lname = nameR[4], layer = predlo.pcbs, 
    title = "Loess surface")
CREATING SUPPORT FILES FOR ex.loess.in

rst.pt> rast.put(G, lname = nameR[5], layer = codes(kr3.o), 
    cat = T, title = "Kriged surface categories")
CREATING SUPPORT FILES FOR ex.kr3o.in

rst.pt> for (i in 1:5) system(paste("r.info map=", nameR[i], 
    sep = ""))
 ...

# plot.grassmeta provides a simple interface between grass data
# objects and the image() function; category layers may be plotted
# by taking codes() of the layer, and setting zlim to non-default values.
# If layer is not set, a blank base map is plotted, for instance for use
# with points().

length")

(including the function where the problem occurs). The (FILE *) looks
healthy enough to me, so I'll accept that the problem is a machine
idiosyncracy. I'll work out a way for the examples to "know" if they are
being run from GRASS-Ex.R, and if so, drop most of the graphic output,
leaving it in for regular example() execution.

Thanks for useful advice,

Roger
