I have noticed that calling tm_polygons(), tm_borders(), and tm_fill() crashes the R session with a fatal error on my current setup of R on Mac OS X Sierra 10.12.6. I am using tmap version 1.10. The crash happens both in RStudio and the standard R Gui. I have been able to reproduce the error both in R 3.3.3 and in R 3.4.2 on two separate laptops (2016 Macbook Pro). Using other tmap functions like tm_bubbles() works fine without any problems.

Example code leading to the crash on the two systems I could test on:

library(tmap)
data(Europe)
tm_shape(Europe) + tm_polygons()

Can anybody reproduce this issue? On my Windows system these lines of code work perfectly fine.
