[R] Segmentation fault when instantiating arrow::table from data frame

[asfimport]

The sample code from https://github.com/apache/arrow/tree/master/r leads to a segmentation fault

 

library(arrow, warn.conflicts = FALSE)
library(tibble)
library(reticulate)
tf <- tempfile()
(tib <- tibble(x = 1:10, y = rnorm(10)))
arrow::write_arrow(tib, tf)

*** caught segfault ***
address (nil), cause 'memory not mapped'

Traceback:
1: Table__from_dataframe(.data)
2: shared_ptr_is_null(xp)
3: shared_ptr(arrow::Table, Table__from_dataframe(.data))
4: table(x)
5: to_arrow.data.frame(x)
6: to_arrow(x)
7: write_arrow.fs_path(x, fs::path_abs(stream), ...)
8: write_arrow(x, fs::path_abs(stream), ...)
9: write_arrow.character(tib, tf)
10: arrow::write_arrow(tib, tf)
 

The same problem appears also when just calling arrow::table(tib):

arrow::table(tib)

*** caught segfault ***
address (nil), cause 'memory not mapped'

Traceback:
1: Table__from_dataframe(.data)
2: shared_ptr_is_null(xp)
3: shared_ptr(arrow::Table, Table__from_dataframe(.data))
4: arrow::table(tib)

[~Lutz] is this still an issue for you? If so, can you please provide more details on your setup (sessionInfo() for one, as well as how you installed Arrow)?
