I can confirm the problem on Linux, using a much newer version
of R (R-devel of today).
A bit shorter version:
> round(ISOdate(2001,1,1)[0], "day")

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
( = locale-translation of "floating point exception" )
--------------
The same for Linux and Solaris:
Using "R -d gdb" and "bt" (= backtrace) after the error reveals
(gdb) bt
#0 0xfefbee9c in .rem () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1
#1 0x0004e4b4 in do_formatPOSIXlt (call=0xebc9c8, op=0xebc9c8, args=0xed2fb8,
env=0x1) at ../../../R/src/main/datetime.c:565
......
.......
-----------------
There's an obvious way to fix this bug on the R- (as opposed to C-)
level, and I'd probably just do it.
However, I wonder if the logic in the above C code is okay..
