[Rd] Replaying a recorded plot (mixed base and grid) from pdf() in cairo_pdf() crashes R

[Yihui Xie]

A quick follow-up: I just used cairo_pdf() as the recording device,
and it crashes R as well, so it is probably not relevant to pdf() but
an issue specific to cairo_pdf().

cairo_pdf()
dev.control('enable')

library("grid")
plot(1)
grid.text("A")

res = recordPlot()
dev.off()

cairo_pdf()
replayPlot(res)
dev.off()
