[Rd] i may have missed something ..

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Ouch.  It does look like a compiler over-optimization sort of problem.

I presume that is the ix86 icc, with which we have not had much success on 
either Linux or Windows. I've just checked x86_64 icc on Linux, and that 
is working correctly.
