R devel - Jun 2004 - 1.9.1-alpha & tty

I have two versions of R on my Debian testing: R-1.9.0 (precompiled) and
R-1.9.1-alpha of 2004-06-07 (built on my system). In the latter, I get

while with R-1.9.0 it works as expected. I have absolutely no idea about
what's going on, so I could use some help. Anyone?

Thanks,

I just recalled that I was running R-1.9.1 as root ("su -; R") in
order to
be able to 'install.packages'. That must be the reason, but I still
don't
