[R] R Graphics Crash Problem

I recently built R 1.6.2 on solaris 2.8 with gcc 3.2. 
Things seem to run OK, but using graphics causes R to
core dump.  (For instance, by using the plot() or
hist() functions.)  Sometimes I can see the graphics
drawn before it actually core dumps.  The core file
shows a crash in Rf_gpptr.  

I'm quite new to R, so I don't know what info would be
helpful for diagnosis.  I'm including the gdb dump of
the crash.

Thanks for any help!
