Description

Setup:

• Arrow Dev version from commit 0ef2080f6be27
• R version 4.1.0 (2021-05-18)
• Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit)
• Running under: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS

Steps to reproduce:

devtools::load_all("./r")
Expression$create("day_of_week", Table$create(iris))

Expected behaviour:

Some kind of error message warning me that the second argument is wrong.

Actual behaviour:

Big long error message that entirely crashes R, which ends like this (RStudio won't let me copy and paste the rest once it's crashed!)

There is also some stuff about `libR.so` higher up in the error message.
