Seems you are executing a non-base function call when this cascade of 
calls leading to the segfault begins. Perhaps this is something being 
done by an out-of-date .Rdata file load? Did you remove all `.Rdata` 
files from the potential sites of auto-loading? Did you run 
`update.packages(checkBuilt=TRUE)` after the R installation.


Best of luck---
