A Strange behaviour of "unpaste"

[Pierre.Ilouga@evotecoai.com]

Hi to the Splusers,

my remark will be very short.

Let    x<- rep("A", 1500)  ;  x[5]<- "AB=AB"

1-   Z<-paste(x[1:1000] , collapse=" ,")
     Z.list<- unpaste( Z , sep= "=")    yields a list of length 2  (as
expected)

          but

2-   Z<-paste(x, collapse=" ,")
     Z.list<- unpaste( Z , sep= "=")   results to an error with the
following messages:

Terminating S Session: Signal: bad address signal
Warning in restart(first): restart ignored after error (unless clear=T),
while calling subroutine S_unpaste
Warning in restart(first): restart ignored after error (unless clear=T),
while calling subroutine S_unpaste
Warning in restart(first): restart ignored after error (unless clear=T),
while calling subroutine S_unpaste
Warning in restart(first): restart ignored after error (unless clear=T),

WHY?
