[Rd] Request for help with UBSAN and total absense of CRAN response

[Jan van der Laan]

Dirk,

The vagrant setup I use to test my packages with UBSAN also seems to  
replicate the error reported by CRAN (together with some other  
warnings). I have attached the files (I hope they get through the  
filters). I suppose you know what to do with them.
