R2.3.0 has a problem checking one of my self-authored Oce package
(http://myweb.dal.ca/kelley/pub/sof/oce/index.php).  The package builds fine on
another machine running a R2.2.1.  Both machines are macintoshes running the
latest version of OSX.

I am reporting this here not to get help - I realize the package is too big to
provide a test case - but rather as an alert.

Running "R CMD check oce" produces an error, and when I checked the relevant
failure file (ctd.Rout.fail), I see the following contents.  This suggests that
maybe the system is trying to run an i386 binary, even though the machine has a
powerpc CPU.  (Now you can see why I'm reporting this -- it seems to be a
problem with the OSX universal binary.)
