R help - Jul 2009 - Snow/openmpi

I'm running R/snow on a small cluster with opensuse, openmpi, and openshh. I
start up R with "mpirun -n 1 R --no-save". That works but it strikes
me how
easily I get kicked out of R whenever I run into syntax errors. Is there a
way to avoid this, for instance, by starting up a regular R session and
invoking/activating(?) openmpi within R, e.g. by passing on extra arguments
to the makeCluster function?

Thanks to all who make parallel computing also possible for applied
statisticians.
