Fatal errors are bugs and need to be reported (unless they involve
bugs in your own dyn.loaded code or very sleazy programming
techniques). Do you think that you can cook up an example showing this
behaviour, preferably using simulated data, so that we don't get
r-bugs clogged up with huge data sets? Would be nice to know whether
it also happens on Unix (and much easier to debug if it does).

(I smell a deparse()-length-limit rat or somesuch here...)
