source raster.
In L_raster() (grid.c), this raster is not a "nativeRaster", so we do
image = (unsigned int*) R_alloc(n, sizeof(unsigned int));
with n = 0, and R_alloc() gives us a NULL pointer.
The display of this raster requests interpolation, so we end up in
R_GE_rasterInterpolate(), where 'sraster' is NULL, and chaos ensues as
it tries to read source pixels.
It seems to me that it doesn't make sense to display an empty raster, so
I inserted a check in L_raster(). A proof-of-concept patch is attached.
With this patch, R gives an error message instead of a segfa...
