[R] pvclust crashing R on Ubuntu 10.10

Hi all

I am writing to you with a question regarding the pvclust package. And
yes, before the usual people produce their usual
contact-the-package-maintainers line, ye, I tried that but the emails
one can find on the web either bounce or are not responded to. Also,
yes, this error has already been reported as a bug but been shot down
as not reproducible
(<http://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14430>). Thus,
here's now the version that I can reproduce. When I run this:

###
library(pvclust); data(iris)
x <- pvclust(iris[,1:4], method.dist="canberra", method.hclust="ward",
nboot=100)
plot(x)
###

I get this:

###
address 0x7fffa22b5000, cause 'memory not mapped'
###

Here is some info that might help:

###
Ubuntu 10.10
Linux kernel: 2.6.35-27 generic

> R.version
platform x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
arch x86_64
os linux-gnu
system x86_64, linux-gnu
status
major 2
minor 12.2
year 2011
month 02
day 25
svn rev 54585
language R
version.string R version 2.12.2 (2011-02-25)
###

Paradoxically enough, R for Windows installed on this machine (running
with Wine) causes no problems, but on Linux ... Any ideas what that
could be?

Thanks a lot,
STG
