[Rd] example fails during R CMD CHECK but works interactively?
Thank you Dan but it isn't my tests that are failing (all of them pass without problem) but one of the examples from the inst/examples directory. I did try, however, to start R with the environmental variables as you suggest but it had no effect on my tests.

Does anyone else have any thoughts about troubleshooting the R CMD check environment?

Make the example print out Sys.getenv() and then manually inspect? Otherwise, you'll need to debug the code by adding print statements. Something clearly is not as you expect, so you need carefully empirically verify your assumptions about the inputs to and environment of the function.

The error can be reproduced by running the bigmemory-Ex.R script which you can find in the bigmemory.Rcheck directory, either in batch mode or via source() in an interactive session. It seems that you have underlying memory allocation problems. I can get the script to running by adding gc() calls when necessary (i.e. when a failure is reported, add gc() just before this point in the script and rerun).
