I'd say it does work, and did.  As far as catching before release, that
sounds great, as great as having no bugs.

I am not too sure that my tests could have caught a bug that the got passed
the R tests though, so passing along a segfault issue to those who might
know the source better seemed prudent -- even if I could only have the time
to test against the released version.

Thanks for the fix!
