I have been using R from within rpy for a while because I am more familiar with
Python syntax. I first noticed this bug with R-2.4.0.
Screendump: ------------------------------
>>> from rpy import *
>>> beer = r.scan()
1:  3 4 1 1 3 4 3 3 1 3 2 1 2 1 2 3 2 3 1 1 1 1 4 3 1
26: 
Read 25 items
>>> c = r.table(beer)
>>> c
array([10,  4,  8,  3])
>>> r.pie(c)
>>> Error during wrapup: C stack usage is too close to the limit

 *** caught segfault ***
address (nil), cause 'memory not mapped'

Possible actions:
1: abort (with core dump)
2: normal R exit
3: exit R without saving workspace
4: exit R saving workspace
Selection: 3
3
>>> 
End of screendump --------------------

R crashes when the mouse is dragged onto the graphics display.

The version of rpy I am using is rpy-1.0-RC2.

Please note that I also have the same problem on OpenSuSe-10.2.

It does not matter whether I install R using provided rpm packages for the
respective Linux system or whether I compile R myself.


Many thanks for your attention.
