This is already addressed in R-patched: we do ask you to check before
filing a bug report so as not to waste our time. (It was also discussed
on R-help: see the archives.)
It is a bug *in Windows* and not one in R: nothing an application can do
should be that fatal (and this is a perfectly legitimate Windows GDI
call). I trust that you will file a bug report in the correct place.
>From the CHANGES file:
The support for mitred lines encountered a Windows problem with a
dramatic slowdown if more than 1000 or so segments were plotted in a
polyline. We now plot in bunches of 1000, which is less accurate but
works around the Windows problem.
