I still get the crash. I tried to recreate your commands on my machine (macOS Monterey, Version 12.0.1). Here is a summary; further details are below.
1. Installing from CRAN downloaded file Rmpfr_0.8-7.tar.gz failed, see further details. 2. Therefore I had to instal the binary file from CRAN, see further details. 3. Loaded library(Rmpfr), see further details 4. Ran the two commands at the RStudio console: x <- mpfr(-50, 2000) y <- mpfr(-50.1, 2000) This caused a crash. 5. Restarted my system and ran: version _ platform x86_64-apple-darwin17.0 arch x86_64 os darwin17.0 system x86_64, darwin17.0 status major 4 minor 1.1 year 2021 month 08 day 10 svn rev 80725 language R version.string R version 4.1.1 (2021-08-10) nickname Kick Things 6.
