[R-SIG-Mac] Updating packages crash

[Simon Urbanek]

Ken,

can you, please, tell us exactly what machine are you using? I'm not  
able to reproduce it so far.. Please always post at least the output  
of sessionInfo().
Even more helpful would be the crash report (either accessible  
directly after the crash or see Console in Utilities).

Thanks,
Simon
