[Rd] typo in sprintf format string segfaults R

[Sklyar, Oleg (London)]

typo as simple as %S instead of %s segfaults R devel:

*** R 2.9.0 (svn -r 47821) [/share/research/R-devel/20090203/lib64/R]
***
> sprintf("%S%d", "aaa", 1)

 *** caught segfault ***
address 0x8000, cause 'memory not mapped'

Traceback:
 1: sprintf("%S%d", "aaa", 1)

Possible actions:
1: abort (with core dump, if enabled)
2: normal R exit
3: exit R without saving workspace
4: exit R saving workspace
