Set _R_CHECK_PKG_SIZES_ to 'no' (see 'Writing R Extensions' and its 
references on customizing R CMD check), or correct your paths so the 
'du' program in Rtools is the one that is found.  (The only reported 
example was from using a different 'du' program.)

I believe that current R-patched works around this: R-devel definitely 
does.
