R help - Apr 2005 - Error in save.image(): image could not be renamed

Hello,

I am doing intensive tests on SVMs parameter selection. Once a while I got the
error:
 Error in save.image(): image could not be renamed and is left in .RDataTmp1
I cannot use the information saves in .RDataTmp1. When that happens I loose
several hours of tests. It happens, ussualy when the computer is locked, i.e.,
there is not other relevant processes running on. I can do tests and get the
problem an repeat axactly the same tests and everythings runs o.k.

Thanks for any help

Why? Anything wrong with load(".RDataTmp1") ?? Or renaming it manually
to .RData ?

I have written a package, where a function definition includes a regexp 
pattern including double backslashes, such as

myfunction <- function (pattern = ".*\\.txt$")

when I R CMD CHECK the corresponding .Rd file, I get warnings 
(code/documentation mismatch), if I enforce two backslashes in the 
documentation print out by

\usage { myfunction (pattern = ".*\\\\.txt$") }

have I to live with this or is their a way to avoid the warnings (apart 
from being satisfied with a wrong manpage ...)?

regards

Can you check with R-devel please? I think this has been fixed.
