[Rd] Unexpected EOF in R-patched_2017-01-30

[Avraham Adler]

It worked for me at home but not at work. I will email my work the copy I
have at home. It could have been something with our connectivity or
firewall. My home copy of 1-31 is also 388b607afe732c92442dbb49845fe377.
I'll check the work ones tomorrow, or should I say later today.

Thank you,

Avi
