Can't connect to a local database using Monetd

Question

I'm trying to set a local connection to a database using Monetdb.R, but for some reason it is not working. I'm using the latest version of monetdb (MonetDB5 64 bits "Jan2014-SP3", 2014-07-25 release) in a Windows 7.

Here it is a short reproducible example:

> library(MonetDB.R)
Carregando pacotes exigidos: DBI
Carregando pacotes exigidos: digest
> conn <- dbConnect(dbDriver("MonetDB"), "monetdb://localhost/demo")
Error in .mapiRead(con) : ERROR reading MAPI block header (0)

I haven't seen this error occuring with other users...
