Subject: Core dump with "parse" (PR#2120)
In-Reply-To: <200210071753.TAA15549@pubhealth.ku.dk>
Message-ID: <Pine.GSO.4.10.10210071314540.11068-100000@fisher.stat.ucla.edu>

On my GNU/Linux box running 1.6.0, I get

marla:> R --vanilla

R : Copyright 2002, The R Development Core Team
Version 1.6.0  (2002-10-01)

[...]
> parse(text=deparse(body(plot)))
expression({
    if (is.null(attr(x, "class")) && is.function(x)) {
        if ("ylab" 0names(list(...))) 
            plot.function(x, ...)
        else plot.function(x, ylab = paste(deparse(substitute(x)), 
            "(x)"), ...)
    }
    else UseMethod("plot")
})
> version
         _                
platform i686-pc-linux-gnu
arch     i686             
os       linux-gnu        
system   i686, linux-gnu  
status

year     2002             
month    10               
day      01               
language R                


But on one of our OS X servers running R 1.5.1, I get:

galton:> R --vanilla

R : Copyright 2002, The R Development Core Team
Version 1.5.1  (2002-06-17)

[...]
> parse(text = deparse(body(plot)))
expression({
    if (is.null(attr(x, "class")) && is.function(x)) {
Bus error

I can't tell what the problem is though.
