Without debuggging its ok.
Confirmed. It's not new in 1.9.0, it appears in 1.8.1 as well. It
seems that a function body consisting of a single token triggers it.
I get a crash from this variation:
f <- function(x) 4
Maybe the system is trying to tell us that functions this simple don't
need debugging? ;-)
I'm sending this message to r-bugs to get it into the bug list (but I
won't have time to look at it until at least the weekend, if someone
else wants to fix it).
