Thank you for the bug report!
It also crashes on our Solaris platform, and with the newest
"developers"
version.
However, *only* when no device has been created previously in the current R
session, i.e., PREpending
par("usr") ; dev.off()
to your three commands gives the correct error message
>>> Error in par(args) : parameter "tck" has the wrong
length

Remark / Question :
I think I would rather not have my students use low-level functions such
as plot.new() and plot.window()...
Is there a reason they need these instead of plot()/lines()/.... etc ?
