Found a fix (hack actually, but hey), so I thought I'd pass it on.
I was desperately googling for a solution to this, and on a game website
found a report from someone experiencing OpenGL problems on a machine with
the Intel 965 chipset. They figured out (God only knows how) that by
downloading from the Intel website the zip file of the 965 Vista drivers
(this is on XP), extracting the file ig4dev32.dll, and dropping it into the
directory of the app that was crashing, the problem went away.
So I downloaded the same DLL, dropped it into R/bin, and voila, no more
crash!
Here's the link to the Intel Vista drivers:

Enjoy!
