After compiling R-2.6.1 with gcc-4.2.1 pressing the 'delete' key three times in
an interactive session causes R to malfunction, spitting out an infinite stream
of errors.  I have also replicated the issue in R-2.5.1:

        'help.start()' for an HTML browser interface to help.
        Type 'q()' to quit R.
