This appears not to be Windows-specific. I see it on Fedora Core 5
too:

> plot(x = ashina$vas.active, y = ashina$vas.plac, type = "p",
+     pch = 1, col = ashina$grp)

 *** caught segfault ***
address 0xfc, cause 'memory not mapped'

Traceback:
 1: dev.off(h$obj at device)
 2: handler(...)
 3: function (...) {    handler(...)    return(TRUE)}(list(obj = <S4
 object of class "gGraphicsRGtk">, action = NULL),     <pointer:
 0xc327a60>)

Possible actions:
1: abort (with core dump)
2: normal R exit
3: exit R without saving workspace
4: exit R saving workspace

(2.4.0 Patched, upon closing the plotnotebook)
