Here you go (though I doubt it will be actually helpful):

R version 2.13.1 (2011-07-08)
Platform: i386-pc-mingw32/i386 (32-bit)

locale:
[1] LC_COLLATE=Dutch_Belgium.1252  LC_CTYPE=Dutch_Belgium.1252
LC_MONETARY=Dutch_Belgium.1252 LC_NUMERIC=C                  
[5] LC_TIME=Dutch_Belgium.1252    

attached base packages:
[1] grDevices datasets  splines   graphics  stats     tcltk     utils
methods   base     

other attached packages:
 [1] addendum_1.4       snowfall_1.84      snow_0.3-7         mgcv_1.7-6
rgl_0.92.798       glmnet_1.7        
 [7] Matrix_0.9996875-3 lattice_0.19-33    svSocket_0.9-51    TinnR_1.0.3
R2HTML_2.2         Hmisc_3.8-3       
[13] survival_2.36-9   

loaded via a namespace (and not attached):
[1] cluster_1.14.0 grid_2.13.1    nlme_3.1-102   svMisc_0.9-63  tools_2.13.1

Note that this is the sessionInfo from an interactive session. I don't know
of an obvious way to provide you the sessionInfo of the session that is
started by R CMD check (Assuming that at that point, an 'actual' R session
has actually been started - it appears the error occurs before any 'real
work' is started).
