(Duncan: This is in regards to rgl crashing R. See the log at 
        http://bugs.debian.org/384518   and in particular Michel's
        message from 23 Jan 2007 18:25)

Hi guys,

I just noticed that this bug landed in my (rgl maintainer) lap ;-)  Turns out
that I am confused as I just did
   
   $ R
   > library(rgl)
   > triangles3d(c(1,2,3),c(1,2,4),c(1,3,5))   # extra comma removed
   > rgl.postscript('testing.pdf','pdf')

and it happens to work with rgl 0.70 (there have been lots of updates
upstream) on a machine with an Nvidia card -- but it crashes on another
machine with an ATI card.  Both run the same R version (2.4.1) and the same
rgl version (0.70). So maybe we can absolve rgl of any guilt?

On the other hand, Michel last comment is not unreasonable. :)  Duncan, could
you please comment as to whether rgl does, or does not, do the Right Thing
here? 

Comments?  Further tests?

Dirk
