Never mind - you did in your first e-mail. But from that info it is clear that 
you're not using CRAN R, so I fear we can't really help you since this problem 
is specific to your own R build. You should try the R release on CRAN to see if 
you can reproduce it with that. If not, you may want to use gdb to trace the 
issue (R -d gdb) - it could be R or some library you're using ... If you want 
us to look int that, you'd have to provide exact details on how you compiled 
that R (compiler versions, configure flags etc.).

Cheers,
Simon
