That's a pretty heavy set of optimization options you're using there!

Basically, there are two possibilities:

1) You've triggered a compiler bug
2) You've triggered a bug in R

In either case, you'll have to dig deeper and see if you can catch the
exact spot where things go wrong. You might start R with the debugger,
run the base-Ex.R with it while having a breakpoint set at the error
message you are getting. But before that try running the example that
triggers the bug by itself and see if the bug is still tickled.
