It works for me w/o problems:
Mac OS X 10.6.2 (10C540)
[R.app GUI 1.31 (5536) i386-apple-darwin9.8.0] (also directly)
R version 2.11.0 Under development (unstable) (2009-12-13 r50716)
i386-apple-darwin9.8.0

locale:
[1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8

attached base packages:
[1] grid      stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets   
methods   base

(official Leopard build from r.research.att.com)

So if you can replicate this, please either a) get a full stack trace  
or b) specify exactly how you configure R, compilers, locale etc. Also  
make sure you don't have some old library with R packages around.

Cheers,
Simon
