[Rd] cannot build R-devel (>= r49747)

[Romain Francois]

Hello,

I've tried several times yesterday to build R-devel and I consistently 
get this error when I "make" :

mkdir -p -- ../../../library/base/R
make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/R-devel/src/library/profile'
make[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/R-devel/src/library/base'
building package 'base'
make[4]: Entering directory `/tmp/R-devel/src/library/base'
mkdir -p -- ../../../library/base/demo
mkdir -p -- ../../../library/base/po
make[4]: Leaving directory `/tmp/R-devel/src/library/base'
Error: unprotect_ptr: pointer not found
Execution halted
make[3]: *** [all] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/R-devel/src/library/base'
make[2]: *** [R] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/R-devel/src/library'
make[1]: *** [R] Error 1

make: *** [R] Error 1


I tried this morning to step down and I believe this has been introduced 
by rev 49747:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
r49747 | murdoch | 2009-09-18 14:10:55 -0400 (Fri, 18 Sep 2009) | 1 line
Changed paths:
    M /trunk/src/include/Defn.h
    M /trunk/src/include/Parse.h
    M /trunk/src/main/gram.c
    M /trunk/src/main/gram.y
    M /trunk/src/main/main.c
    M /trunk/src/main/memory.c

Allow parsing in the middle of a REPL on a file, without messing up the 
source record for the file.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

... which makes sense since it looks like a parser issue.

I can build revision 49746.

This is a fedora 11 :

$ uname -a
Linux santorini 2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon Aug 24 
17:16:21 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I'm not sure what I can do to help fixing this. Can someone else with a 
fedora replicate this ?

Romain
