Crashing R (PR#1651)

[ripley@stats.ox.ac.uk]

I can't reproduce the crash on Linux, nor using rterm on Windows.
With Rgui on Windows it seems due to the over-long error message that is
generated (15880 characters) as a single line.

There was a bug report (PR 902 on problems) with over-long warnings.
That was solved long ago, but there is no guarantee that the display
system will accept them.  Perhaps warning() should truncate them.
