[Rd] R 3.4 and mclapply assertion failure - is this a bug?

[Simon Urbanek]

Yan,

this looks like an interaction of OpenMP in data.table and forking - you may want to report that to Matt as he can shed more light on that. He has been complaining that we didn't enable OpenMP before 3.4 so he probably knows about the issue and how to fix it.

Cheers,
Simon
