Are you using Martyn's RPM or Extras? Just wondering if there is any
difference. In theory, I suppose, given the prior communications with
Tom, there shouldn't be.

Also, was this a clean install of FC6 or an "in place upgrade" of FC5.
Officially, FC does not support the latter and I have seen mixed
comments on the FC lists pertaining to that path and associated issues.

I think valgrind shows the problem is in deparse.c:
    245         strncpy(data, CHAR(STRING_ELT(svec, 0)), 10);
    246         if (strlen(CHAR(STRING_ELT(svec, 0))) > 10) strcat(data, "...");
You need to put a '\0' into data[10] after that strncpy
so strcat can find the end of the string when the length
of the copied string is >=10.  It currently runs into
uninitialized memory at the end of ".Primitive".

(This is in a copy of R source from June 2006.)
