R devel - Apr 1999 - GConvert error when using pictex (PR#173)

[I'm refiling this one due to mailer config messup]

I get an error whenever I try to plot a histogram in pictex.
The error doesn't occur for X11 or postscript.
> x<-c(1,2,3)
> pictex()
> hist(x)
Error: Bad units specified in GConvert, please report!

Oops. Me, that is. Whereas it *can* be figured out from the headers, I
probably should have signed that one....

I believe that your report is just a much more compact example
of the same
bug reported on March 26, by Adelchi Azzalini, report no.150.

By the way:  The [Graphics] section at  http://R-bugs.biostat.ku.dk/
	     has quite a few bugs, some of which should really be addressed
	     rather sooner than later....
	     
I don't think the R-core team has any commitments on working on these,
but I think we should...
