Hi Vince,
Someone in our lab was seeing a similar segfault here on OS X. We
didn't get to the bottom of it, but if I recall, it was something with
how the error message is handled inside of download.file.
Can you try getting the gdb backtrace? Here's how I would try:
R -d gdb
# gdb starts up
gdb> run
download.file(url="http://www.r-project.org/FOOBAR123";,
destfile=tempfile())
# I think you will get the same crash and be back to gdb
gdb> bt
+ seth
