[R-SIG-Mac] SystemFlippers?

Hi,

A long time ago I noticed below 'SystemFlippers' message started  to  
show up, initially in R-2.8.0-alpha 64-bit.

It only happens in 64-bit and if you start R.app through osascript/ 
AppleScript, e.g. in TextMate using 'source file to R'.

Has anyone else come across this behavior?

Thanks,
Rob
