This is already reported and already fixed in R-patched.
The relevant report is PR#2469.
Neither that nor your report specified which Mac port this is, although I
could guess from you use of `rm162'.
If it is happening in the classic MacOS port then perhaps Stefano could
patch it: he is aware of the problem.
