Infinite loop running Mod_R/Rapache

This is definitely an apache configuration problem. After responding to 
you privately about this issue, I got paranoid and checked the latest 
R/Apache code release (rapache-0.1.1) with the following debian packages:

apache2-common/unstable uptodate 2.0.55-4
apache2-utils/unstable uptodate 2.0.55-4
apache2-mpm-prefork/unstable uptodate 2.0.55-4
apache2-prefork-dev/unstable uptodate 2.0.55-4

I could not reproduce the behavior you are witnessing. Maybe you can 
send me (off-list) your /etc/apache2/apache2.conf, 
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/* and  see if I can't help you troubleshoot.

But this bit of R creating a temp dir (for transient files?) needs to be 
handled more delicately in a server environment. I'm going to do some 
more digging in the R source... I hope I haven't made some glaringly 
wrong assumptions.
