Whenever I run lmer or glmer from lme4 package, I get the following error:
Error in '/usr/lib/rstudio/bin/rsession' : malloc(): memory corruption:

There have been reports of problems with the latest Matrix package, 1.2-8, on 32-bit OS's (personal communication from Terry Therneau and Brian Ripley). A fix is probably on its way may take a while (personal communication, M. Maechler), so I would try downgrading Matrix to version 1.2-7, e.g. devtools::install_version("Matrix","1.2-7") (you'll need to have compilation tools installed).
Looking at the NEWS file for Matrix, I suspect this has something to do with:
- C-API: SuiteSparse_long is now defined as int64_t on all platforms, and we now include (C99) ‘inttypes.h’

In the time the problem has been diagnosed and solved by me (the maintainer of Matrix):
Matrix 1.2-8 had updated its API, but RcppEigen had copied part of Matrix's C API (headers etc)... and now was no longer compatible... on 32-bit only.
In the mean time, RcppEigen has been updated (and Matrix too).
Please install the latest versions of these two and all such lme4 problems should be gone.

May have been an issue with Ubuntu update. I had the same issue, but after the latest update to Ubuntu base the problem was fixed.
