Well, let's put it this way...

If I say: perldoc PDL::R the synopsis begins:

        use PDL::R;
        pnorm(.1,0.0,1.0);

If I execute:

perl -e '
        use PDL::R;
        pnorm(.1,0.0,1.0);
'

I get a segmentation fault.

Note that this also happens with the PDL that existed before I took
it over.


I'm leaving the current R support in place, as a courtesy, but debugging
this is pretty low on my priority list.

If upstream PDL is going to merge in support for R then I'll be happy
to take a more active hand.  But, if this is merely a stopgap, I'm not
very interested in pouring effort into it.
