This looks like a specific Macintosh error that appears at random intervals. I get it at random, and unreproducible times. I reported it (or perhaps a close relative) to the r-sig-mac list in September 2014.

Rich, You?ve probably reported the error to the wrong group. A quick search suggests this is not an R issue, but an RStudio issue. The error message is unique enough.

My error is Mac because I don't use R-Studio. The phrasing of Ian's error is similar to the error I reported and still occasionally get. As I said, it is random and therefore not reproducible. This is consistent with the comments on the rstudio link you pointed us to.
