Dear developers,

I came across with a bug while parsing Rd files.

Given is the following minimal Rd file:

----
\name{foo}
\title{foo}
\description{
#ifdef windows
        win
#endifd
#ifdef unix
        unix
#endif
}
----

By accident I have a typo at line 6, instead of having #endif I typed #endifd.

If I run checkRd(), parse_Rd(), Rd2HTML(), or others including the command line "R 
CMD Rconv" R will freeze and the only chance I have is to kill R.

As far as I can tell for checkRd() the problem is the internal function 
prepare_Rd() which runs for ever.

Is there a way to avoid having that freezing behaviour?


The obvious way is not to have the typo in your file, but I'll look into what's causing it so you're allowed to have errors.
