[R] Crash when running functions from contributed packages

[Carel, Roland]

Hello all,

I am somewhat new to S-plus and would really appreciate any help you might
have on the following problem:

I installed S-plus (0.65.1) on a Sun box (Solaris) and it runs fine as far
as I can tell. I also installed the cluster and multiv contributed packages.
The problem I have is that I get a core dump everytime I try to run a
function in the contributed packages. This seems independent on the function
I try, be it clara, pca, or sammon.

Here is an example:

% R --vanilla < pca_test.R

> library(mva)
> library(multiv)
> x <- rbind(cbind(rnorm(200,0,8), rnorm(200,0,8)),
+            cbind(rnorm(300,50,8), rnorm(300,50,8)))
> pcax <- pca(x)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Any idea on how to fix this?
