| 6.1, Build 7601; Service Pack 1), R 2.14.1, Rtools 214 (also tried 215),

Hm, that's not nice.

Can any other R-onp-64bit-Windows users confirm or deny?

| No examples work.  I get the same results (same stack dump) with 
| rinside_sample0.  rinside_sample[1-9] also crash.

That should not happen, and the R example does not matter (as R has its own
registry).  

Maybe you need both bin/ and bin/x64/ (or whatever it is called) in the
$PATH.
