R devel - Jun 2010 - Problem with dyn.load() under Windows 64bit at CRAN

The package cxxPack builds without problems at CRAN under all OS's except
Windows 64bit, and in the case of Windows 64bit there is a problem in a
call to dyn.load(). This call happens while processing the package vignette,
and the odd thing about this is that there are several calls to dyn.load()
that
work fine before the one that fails.

This seems to suggest that Windows 64bit is imposing some kind of
resource constraint that limits the number of shared libs that can be
loaded at one time.

Another odd thing about this is that everything worked under Windows 64bit
before the changes were made to serialize the build of packages that
depend on each other.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dominick

Dominick,

your messages are all in my Inbox, I just have not yet found the time to 
look in more detail.

That highly improbable.

That's untrue. I try to serialize some things on winbuilder.

No yet.

It is not very helpful to speculate and post a modification of some of 
your and my modified guesses.

Best,
Uwe
