Dear R developers,
first of all let me join the chorus of congratulations for the release
of R 1.0.0. Well, done!
Unfortunately, I find it necessary to e-mail in a bug report regarding
the `nlme' package. On my office machine I experience the following
trouble:
bossiaea:/opt/R$ R CMD check -c nlme
Checking package `nlme' ...
Massaging examples into `nlme-Ex.R' ...
Running examples in package `nlme' ...
ERROR
The end of nlme-Ex.Rout is:
> rm(list = ls(all = TRUE)); .Random.seed <- c(0,rep(7654,3))

+ correlation = corAR1(form = ~ 1 | Mare))
Warning message:

> fm2 <- update(fm1, weights = varPower())
Error in update.gls(fm1, weights = varPower()) :
subscript out of bounds
Execution halted
(R CMD check MASS is also failing on an example that uses update.gls.)
On my machine at home I run into troubles even faster when running `R
CMD check nlme'. One of the early examples chokes on the
line:> data(Orthodont)
I had done a "clean install" on that machine, i.e., I first blew away
the older installation of R. It seems that the datasets Orthodont and
Pixel have been distributed with the nls library in earlier R versions
but not so in R 1.0.0. But they are not distributed with the current
version of nlme either.
Cheers,
Berwin
