terra::buffer() R crash - R version 4.3.3

[Graczykowski]

Hello, terra::buffer() function keeps crashing when creating buffer around line SpatVector. This is the smallest shapefile data on which I was able to reproduce this error (https://data.sandiego.gov/datasets/bike-route-lines/). It occurs on R version 4.3.3 on Windows 11 and works correctly on R version 4.4.0. Additionally, increasing width of buffer solves the problem.

library(terra)

bike = vect("/vsizip/vsicurl/https://seshat.datasd.org/gis_bike_routes/bike_routes_datasd.zip")
buffer(bike, 1) # crashes R

buffer(bike, 200) # crashes R

buffer(bike, 1000) # works properly

When I was reproducing the problem on posit.cloud crash did not occur.

This works for me on Windows and Ubuntu with R 4.4.2 and the CRAN and dev version of "terra".

R.version$version.string
#[1] "R version 4.4.2 (2024-10-31)" 
gdal(lib="geos")
# [1] "3.12.2"
packageVersion("terra")
[1] ‘1.7.83’

Does it also work for you with the current versions?
