"function" function -- infinite loops and bus error [not user problem] (PR#361)
The following is in "all" versions of R,
but is not really a bug that users will stumble about.
Still should be fixed
(making sure that performance is not degraded by the fix ..)
f <- get("function")
f(,) ##-- gives INFINITE loop; breakable with <ctrl> c.
f(NULL,)# [and other variants] as well
f(F,F)
>> Bus error and R is killed.
