[R-SIG-Mac] Interaction with plots, with the quartz device (2008-04-13 r45298)

[John Maindonald]

Hello Simon -
I am unable to get locator() to terminate, either using ESC
or using the middle/right mouse button.  This is also true
when I use the quartz device when running R from the
command line.  Closing the graphics window does terminate
the device, and generates a bus error.

With the x11 device all is fine, whether from R.app or from
the command line.
