[R] gremlin in rep()

[Yves Gauvreau]

I tried it on NT 4 SP 6 R-1.1.0 and it crashes too.

If you try rep(1:3, c(1,3)) you'll get:

Error in rep(1:3, c(1, 3)) : invalid number of copies in "rep"

It look's like R doesn't like the negative number in your case. It would be
nice if it would give the same error message in both case.
