[Rd] Checking package on Windows (and seemingly irreproducible errors in CRAN checks)

[Gabor Grothendieck]

That's a check error.  Did you try running R CMD CHECK on it?

Since it appears to happen in an example you could put
\dontrun{
...
}

around the example although it would be better to get it to the
state that it passes R CMD CHECK without having to do that.
