[R-SIG-Mac] R Console (R.app) crashes - on Mac OS - caught segfault * address 0x18, cause 'memory not mapped'

[Christoph Napierala]

Dear All

macOS Sierra - V 10.12.2
R 3.3.2 GUI 1.68 Mavericks build (7288)

I encountered an issue with the R console crashing after having saved 
the image. Normally I work with R-Studio which still runs "perfectly".
The following report was generated after having deleted R and R-Studio 
and cleaned libraries. The following message was generated:

> Blockquote
  *** caught segfault ***
address 0x18, cause 'memory not mapped'

    Possible actions:
1: abort (with core dump, if enabled)
2: normal R exit
3: exit R without saving workspace
4: exit R saving workspace

version and consider reporting this properly (see FAQ) if it persists 
and is not known.

Consider saving your work soon in case this develops into a problem.

And then I am offered to select one of the above options and the crash 
reproduces.

Thanks for any support.
