Ok, I have found the (or at least one) reason for the crash, and it

nothing to do with the whole R-business. Here's a minimal (?) example that

<hansl-crash>
matrix m = ones(3,1)
ix = 1
loop 3 # must be bigger than the 2 in the if-clause
if (ix <= 2) || (m[ix] > 0.5)
print "hey"
endif
ix++
endloop

Why do I always have to get these things? Sigh.
I can see why you're sighing. But anyway, thanks for bringing this
bug to light; I think it must have been lurking for quite a while.
it was to do with a subtle type-mixup between the two expressions
joined by "||" (OR). (I mean an internal mixup, nothing wrong with
your hansl code.) It's now fixed in git and snapshots.
BTW, I think we have by now accumulated more than enough bug-fixes
to justify a new release. Anyone have reason why we should wait?
