R devel - Nov 2013 - "size of shared memory region" messages show up with Rtools 3.1.0.1939

Hi,

After installing Rtools 3.1.0.1939 into c:\rtools31, when I call any (most?) of
the commands in c:\rtools31\bin, I see strange messages printed to stderr.
Example:

C:\Rtools31>bin\tar
      0 [main] tar 6084 shared_info::initialize: size of shared memory region
changed from 27984 to 21136
bin/tar: You must specify one of the `-Acdtrux' options
Try `bin/tar --help' or `bin/tar --usage' for more information.


Sometimes I see quite a few of these just from running a single command.

Can this be fixed?

Thanks,
Dan

It seems this is more than cosmetic; simple commands seem to fail:

E:\sandbox>cp c:\Users\biocbuild\Downloads\iClusterPlus_0.99.8.2.tar.gz .
      1 [main] cp 3348 shared_info::initialize: size of shared memory region
changed from 27984 to 21136
15001297 [main] cp 3348 c:\Rtools31\bin\cp.exe: *** fatal error - add_item
("\??\c:\Rtools 31", "/", ...) failed, errno 1
Stack trace:
Frame     Function  Args

I am reverting back to my previous version of Rtools for now, till I hear that
this has been addressed.

Thanks,
Dan
