That's helpful.  It died in the parser while trying to read your user 
profile.  I can't tell what file it was trying to read, but the order it 
tries them is as follows:

If you have R_PROFILE_USER set, it tries to read the file named there.

It tries to read .Rprofile in the current directory.

If you have HOME set, it tries to read .Rprofile in that directory.

It appears that you found a bug in the parser while trying to read that 
file:  you shouldn't be able to get a segfault, at worst you should get 
a syntax error.

Can you work out what file it read, and send me a copy?  I'd like to 
track this down.
