Dirk & Peter-
Thanks for looking into the problem. We've dug a little deeper and
discovered that tcsh is the culprit, and will be filing the appropriate
bug report.
Thanks again for your time.

I'm puzzled. As you got this from the pre-built deb, the exact same compile
options etc pp applied as did for x86, powerpc, sparc, ... yet nobody noticed
it there. Also, you could try the never 2.1.0 pre-release that is unstable
since Tuesday (presuming an amd64 binary has been created).
I suspect that this may be more of an amd64 terminal emulation bug than an
R, so I am leaning towards closing it as far as Debian and its R package are
concerned. Could you live with that ?
I'll also CC Peter who, as I recall, has been using R on amd64 for quite some
time. Any idea, Peter?
Regards, Dirk
