title: bigmemory::big.matrix() fails to execute
body: <p>I am trying to use the package <code>bigmemory (4.6.1)</code> in R. Although it has worked before, the script now keeps being stuck in execution phase, even for trivial examples (see below). When I hit the stop sign, R encounters a fatal error and the session is aborted.</p>
  <pre><code>library(bigmemory)
  x &lt;- big.matrix(5, 2, type=&quot;integer&quot;, init=0,
                  dimnames=list(NULL, c(&quot;alpha&quot;, &quot;beta&quot;)))
  </code></pre>
  <p>Current state:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>R 4.2.1</li>
  <li>RStudio 2022.07.1</li>
  <li>macOS Monterey 12.5.1</li>
  </ul>
  <p>I have tried re-installing <code>bigmemory</code>, <code>R</code>, and <code>RStudio</code> but without any success. Any hints on what the issue might be/what I can try? With very little technical knowledge, any help would be appreciated.</p>
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
