[R] tiff()-bug (was re:Preparing high quality figures with tiff as end result)

[Gustaf Rydevik]

A short update that may be of help:
The snippet of code does not crash R if i run under vanilla, nor if I
change R to MDI-mode.
It does crash R infallibly if I set it to SDI-mode in  the Rprofile
file. Strange...
