[R-SIG-Mac] Bus error while updating packages

[Michael Kubovy]

Can anyone suggest what I may be doing wrong?

I had issued the command update.packages(), after which I went through  
the usual dialog:

mixtools :
  Version 0.2.0 installed in /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/ 
library
  Version 0.3.0 available at http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN
Update (y/N/c)?  y
…
tsDyn :
  Version 0.5-7 installed in /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/ 
library
  Version 0.6-0 available at http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN
