Subject: rdbi segmentation fault

hi! i am experiencing the same behaviour explained here:

http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02/archive/2482.html 
(i copied the message below)

has anybody found a solution?

here is the code that gives me a segmentation fault
 library(Rdbi)
 library(Rdbi.PgSQL)
 
 conn <- dbConnect(PgSQL(), dbname = "PGA")
 tmp <- "create table test ( expid int, name varchar(128));" 
 result <- dbSendQuery(conn,tmp)
 dbClearResult(result) 

the last line can be substituted by
 dbDisconnect(conn)
and you get a segmentation fault too.
 
The database PGA does exist and the dbSendQuery does create a table (i
checked via psql)

i followed the instructions given by tim (see url or msg below) and im
sending (what think is) the backtrace:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

MESSGAGE from archive:

I've not seen this behavior. Try "R -d gdb" and then type "run" at the
gdb prompt. Run your R session until the seg fault and send me the
backtrace. Thanks.
