this problem will have started when threads were enabled in glib2, there is still some fallout from this change. the R binary will now need to be linked with -pthread (see graphviz patch-cmd_dot_Makefile_in for an example).. for now as a quick hack you could try setting LD_PRELOAD=libpthread.so before starting R, this may work but may cause other problems.
