Dear Simon,
I have just now tried your example. My temptative conclusion is that
it is due to problem described in r-bugs in message with id 101; 
in short: when the R console is a windowed one (surely under Windows,
but I suspect also under the Mac) printing makes use of a
buffer with a fixed and hard-coded length.

Indeed: (i) I got a segmentation fault using rw0632; (ii) all
work without problem in my pre-release rw0633 where problem
has been 'cured' simply by enlarging the buffer (of course,
this WILL not been the definitive solution) but (iii) I got
a segmentation fault also in rw0633 if I reset the length of the
buffer to the R-0.63.2 one.

We hope to make available rw0633 towards the end of the
week. Brian Ripley and I have introduced a lot of Windows
specific changes and this is the reason of the delay.
