[Rd] (PR#9254)R script editor fails to read script longer then 1000 chars (non-English language settings)

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Yes, thank you.  The conditions are that you are running in a locale with 
a different encoding from the system codepage, when a limit in graphapp 
was hit (so although the script is read correctly, it was not displayed 
correctly).

Fixed for 2.4.0.
