[R] Seg Fault on R 1.8.1 under linux

[ivo_welch-rstat8783@mailblocks.com]

This may be known, but if it is not, maybe it is helpful.
   h<- 1:1000;  save(h, file=pipe(">see"));
causes a Segmentation fault on my system.  The more sensible save(h, 
file=pipe("cat >see")) hangs.  I obviously have everything wrong here, 
my point is only about suggesting a better error trapping somewhere.
