You don't say which OS you are using and I can't reproduce this on Windows so
it is hard to give explicit recommendations, but what if you try running:
R --vanilla
then:
library(maps); map()
Alternately, try:
map("world")
I suspect you have something in your workspace or your environment that is
clashing.
