       Thanks so much.  It worked like you indicated.


       That offending line is added automatically by RStudio.  I must 
have saved it without realizing it.  Then it either passed "R CMD build" 
under R 3.2 or I committed that change without realizing I had not 
tested it with "R CMD check".


       RStudio is a great product -- except for this feature.  I 
documented this on Stackoverflow and sent an email to Yihui Xe, who 
works for (or did work for) RStudio, reporting the issue.  I did not 
mention your name, as I assumed you would have published your answer.


       Thanks again,
