There is quite possibly something wrong with your libraries.  Did you build
this yourself, or is it Christian's backport for Debian stable, or is it a
regular Debian build?  What happens if you upgrade to Christian's (from CRAN
and its mirrors) or my (Debian mirrors) build of the current version 2.3.1 ?
