Carlos,

I can't recreate this error, but it has been experienced and discussed 
before.  A google search of "*** buffer overflow detected ***: 
/usr/lib/R/bin/exec/R" will bring up previous discussions.  Based on 
past responses, it is likely either a locale issue or a consequence of 
doing an upgrade to 12.04 vs. a fresh install.  This issue is related to 
the way your compilers are configured and google would be a better 
option for finding a solution.

Michael
