I just installed version 1.7.1 tonight. In the process I installed via CRAN from
the menu several packages. One installation, exactRankTests, had a distinct
anomaly. A DLL attempt to change FPU control word as seem in the last line  of
the following listing:

START LISTING:

> install.packages(choose.files('',filters=Filters[c('zip','All'),]),
.libPaths()[1], CRAN = NULL)
> local({a <- CRAN.packages()
+ install.packages(select.list(a[,1],,TRUE), .libPaths()[1], available=a)})

END LISTING


NOTEs
1.) this installation was done immediately after starting Rgui, i.e., Rgui was
launched, "Packages" dropdown clicked, "Install packages from CRAN..." clicked

2.) subsequently several other packages installed without incident.

3.) R was killed, restarted, and the installation done again and the same
DLL/FPU anomaly occurred.

Best regards
