[R-SIG-Mac] source() hangs on import

[Donald McKenzie]

Simon -- I can't reproduce it for the list because the window it's running in always hangs and R freezes. I tried. But it basically looks like

> dump("my.file",file="myfileR")
> source("myfileR")
HANG..... (yellow colored ball)

I will go with your suggestions below and report back if need be.   Thanks for the help.
