Thank you for the patch. To clarify: this is not a bug. ?.C says
The mapping of the types of R arguments to C or Fortran arguments in '.C' or '.Fortran' is R C Fortran integer int * integer numeric double * double precision - or - float * real complex Rcomplex * double complex logical int * integer character char ** [see below] list SEXP * not allowed other SEXP not allowed and `raw' is in the `other' category. So this would be a change in behaviour and needs some changes to the documentation. We will do that for 2.2.0. Two hints (more for R-devel than just you). 1) Please provide a patch against the current sources, not 2.0.0. (it worked, with a bit of fiddling). 2) Please _attach_ patches, as your mailer wrapped this one.
