R devel - Jun 2009 - Rd: pdf manual: package information not on first page

Hi everybody,

currently I'm working on two packages, where I've included a 
<package-name>-package.Rd documentation file (with \docType set to 
"package") in each case. When I run "R CMD check" everything
works fine,
and a call to "R CMD install" generates the appropriate html, text and
pdf documentation.

While the package documentation (generated from 
<package-name>-package.Rd) for one of the packages is on the first page 
in the pdf manual, it is on the last page for the other package. It 
seems not to have to do with the alphabetical order, for there are 
documentated function in both packages starting with a letter prior to 
the first letter of the package name.

So my question is, if there is any possibility to get the package 
documentation on the first page?

Best regards,

Thorn Thaler

That's where it is supposed to be.  Could you look for errors in the one 
where it comes last?  If you can't spot anything, you could send me the 
tar.gz version of it and I'll take a look.
