R devel - Sep 2004 - R CMD INSTALL doesn't always clean up (PR#7230)

Full_Name: Eric van Gyzen
Version: 1.9.1
OS: FreeBSD
Submission from: (NULL) (152.3.22.120)


In several cases, "R CMD INSTALL" doesn't remove its temporary
directory.  It
should call "do_cleanup" before every "exit".

1) Please give us a reproducible example, as asked in the FAQ.

2) We are in alpha test, near beta test, of R 2.0.0, so please check your 
examples under the public alphas of R 2.0.0.

Perhaps those cases are deliberate?
