R devel - Apr 2001 - Re: stop() and Rcmd (PR#910)

"Rcmd check"  on NT does not catch errors generated by stop() in files
in the tests directory. Thus the fact that all the tests complete does
not mean they completed succesfully.

This report is based on output from Rcmd check for the bundle dseplus
version 2001.4-1. The test  curve/tests/crvB07.R does a comparison which
on NT is outside of tolerance and executes stop(). (The comparison value
has been adjusted so that future versions of dseplus will not fail on
this test.)

Perl version?  (Lots of these things depend critically on the build.)
Does make pkgcheck-foo work or not?

Can you provide a patch that works on your setup, please.  Otherwise it
will remain unfixed.
