[R] problems with for: warnings and segfault

[Ronaldo Reis-Jr.]

Hi,

I have two problem with a for looping using R Version 2.1.1  (2005-06-20) on a 
Debian Linux Testing.

The first problem: warnings messages

Look:

> xcoord <- 5
> ycoord <- 5
> indice <- 1
> for(i in c(1:5)) {indice <- indice+1;xcoord[indice] <- xcoord+i; 
ycoord[indice] <- ycoord }
Warning messages:
1: number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length 
2: number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length 
3: number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length 
4: number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length 
5: number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length 
6: number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length 
7: number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length 
8: number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length 

> xcoord
[1]  5  6  7  8  9 10
> ycoord
[1] 5 5 5 5 5 5
> 

The results are OK, but I dont understand the warning message

The second problem: The segfault

> xcoord <- 5
> ycoord <- 5
> indice <- 1
> for(i in c(1:100)) {indice <- indice+1;xcoord[indice] <- xcoord+i; 
ycoord[indice] <- ycoord }
Segmentation fault

This is a R bug or an error in my for function?

Thanks
Ronaldo
