"Error: bad value" problem

I can confirm that the error occurs.

I downloaded the files and sourced ``ErrorDemo.R''. Doing x <-  
rnorm(10)
after doing so triggered the error.  Subsequently attempting  
traceback()
(or anything else) simply triggered the error again.

Good luck to R Core in tracking this down!

Unfortunately, there's at least on R Core member for which it does NOT
happen... Fedora 9 i686, R 2.8.0 and 2.8.1 RC (2008-12-15 r47214)

I should've included my session info:

R version 2.8.0 (2008-10-20)
i386-apple-darwin8.11.1

locale:
C

attached base packages:
[1] datasets  utils     stats     graphics  grDevices methods   base

other attached packages:
[1] misc_0.0-9     fortunes_1.3-5 MASS_7.2-44

So it's happening to me with R 2.8.0 --- but under Mac OSX, rather than
Fedora.

	cheers,
