So possibly there is an endian issue, or a contaminated shapefile.

In a fresh R session, please do:

library(maptools)
sessionInfo()
fn <- system.file("shapes/sids.shp", package="maptools")[1]
file.info(fn)
xx <- readShapePoly(fn, proj4string=CRS("+proj=longlat +ellps=clrk66"))
class(xx)
bbox(xx)
summary(xx)

and post the output to the list?

Well, yes, no information on platform and package versions isn't careful.
Please never do this, it will not help.
