R devel - Sep 2012 - Segmentation fault when options(max.print = .Machine$integer.max)

Seemed like a good idea at the time, but

 >   options(max.print = .Machine$integer.max)
 >   1:10
          [1]
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

because of an integer overflow at src/main/printvector.c:176
