(Why would you do that?  It is supposed to terminate, if not crash.)

It's just example code to test the building: the README file says
that you need to handle interrupts, and you will also (if you use the
full case) need to arrange how error conditions are handled.

This did work once (terminate normally on error) but it has not been tested
recently.  If you want to do things like this you will need to debug it on
your own system.

You did not say which version of R you are using.
