and then I had the full length 2404 string which---I had
"known in advance" (Murphy's law)--- has been thrown up
before it got back to R-devel, actually by my mailer already.
Now this should be easier to pass through:
tt <- tempfile()
download.file("ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/U/maechler/R/longpoly.rda", tt)
load(tt)
zh # look at the long "polygon string"
parse(text=zh) ## seg.fault
