[R-SIG-Mac] crash due to rgl and base graphics conflict

[Duncan Murdoch]

I'm not seeing that with R-patched r78557, run from the console.  I'm 
not sure I have the same MacOS version as you (R prints the same thing, 
Apple says High Sierra 10.13.6).  I tried with the CRAN binary of rgl 
0.100.54.  I'd guess the version of XQuartz may be important:  I'm not 
seeing rgl in the call stack, but libXplugin is there.  Mine is "XQuartz 
2.7.11 (xorg-server 1.18.4)".
