[Rd] R CMD build fails with try(stop()) in vignette

[Luke Tierney]

It would appear that printing the error message to stderr() is what is
causing the build to fail; replace

 	try(stop('err'))

with

 	cat('Error in try(stop("err")) : err\n', file = stderr())

and I get the same failure.

Best,

luke
