Thanks, Simon, for your reply.
This is reproducible with 2.11.1, both 32 and 64 bit.
With the following .Last, command-Q hangs, there's no exit except an external
kill,
and .RData will not be saved.
Not a big problem if you're aware of the behavior;
otherwise, one might lose a few hours of work.
I don't expect a fix; this note is meant to prevent others
making the same mistake I made one day.
On the sunny side, if .Last writes something to a file,
it completes with no problem.
