[R-sig-Geo] spgrass6 and R 2.9

[Torleif Markussen Lunde]

Hi

First try updating glibc, and install spgrass6 again. If this does not work 
you could try 

export MALLOC_CHECK_=0

before you start R. The error might be related to "somewhere something" is 
trying to free memory that has already been unallocated. I don't know the 
details here, but it could be worth a try?

Best wishes 
Torleif
