Whoops. This also crashes on Linux (good - then we can debug it more
conveniently...) In the development version too:


> ls(poq=3)
Error in ls(poq = 3) : unused argument(s) (poq ...)

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x807e1c7 in Rf_findVarInFrame (rho=0xbffff4cc, symbol=0x83c7354)
    at ../../../R/src/main/envir.c:677
677             hashcode = HASHVALUE(c) % HASHSIZE(HASHTAB(rho));
(gdb) l
672             c = PRINTNAME(symbol);
673             if( !HASHASH(c) ) {
674                 SET_HASHVALUE(c, R_Newhashpjw(CHAR(c)));
675                 SET_HASHASH(c, 1);
676             }
677             hashcode = HASHVALUE(c) % HASHSIZE(HASHTAB(rho));

(I don't really have time to debug this further just now, the symbol is
"dump.frames" in case anyone wants to dig deeper)
