Yes, this has been reported before and is fixed in R-patched. A
workaround is not to use an UTF8 based locale. Someone might file a
bug report against FC6 so that they might possibly decide to update
the RPM with the relevant patch. Otherwise, build the patched version
or wait for 2.4.1.

Or, fix(airquality) suffices to reproduce this.
