Ben, In some older versions of R:Base (not just runtime), a query against sys_columns could cause a crash if there were views in the database that had variables in their definitions. Do you have any views where there is a dotted variable in the view definition? (It made no difference whether the query even referenced that view at all.) Predefining the variables stopped the crashes.
