It looks like I forgot to reply to the list when responding to Simon's comment.
Sorry about that. In any case it seems like the problem is specific to me.
Thanks for taking the time to look into this.

My reply to Simon's comment:
I am running OS X 10.6.4 and using the CRAN binary of R 2.11.1, downloaded and
installed today. I think the problem might be related to the default for the
DISPLAY variable when you run a shell in Terminal.app. If I either unset
DISPLAY or set it to :0 I do not get the crash. If I leave the default value
(which somehow starts X11.app if it's not already running), something like
/tmp/launch-1XKdV7/org.x:0
then I get the crash described below.
