R devel - Apr 2000 - strheight() crashes without opened device (PR#524)

My mistake, but also a bug.
I did not open a device and called strheight("X").
==> R crashed

...\rgui --vanilla
[...]
> strwidth("X")
Error in strwidth("X") : plot.new has not been called yet
(OK.)
> strheight("X")
R crashed.
(Happens also on Solaris.)

Fixed for R1.1: we weren't checking that the device existed.
