[Bioc-devel] segfault in csaw native code

[Aaron Lun]

Thanks Ryan. I've determined the issue - a rather embarrassing one, 
actually, where the C array wasn't of the right length - I'm not quite 
sure why it didn't show up earlier. Anyway, patches have been committed 
to release and devel.

Cheers,

Aaron
