  Partha,
  just a quick question  (due to Douglas comment): are you using the
  updated versions of the packages at CRAN (BTW, ctest is now in
  the base distribution) ?
  
  Reasons of the question: (i) lme is not in the 'pre-compiled for Windows'
  contrib section at CRAN (ii) I can dyn.load the ctest in the base 
  distribution also under Win98 (indeed, also make pkgcheck-ctest works
  for me under Win98) (iii) every change in the R API can result 
  under Windows in the impossibility to load a particular dll (it happens
  if the dll needs a symbol in R.dll now exported with another name);
  for this reason, at least under Windows, it has been necessary to upgrade
  not only the base distribution but also the packages. Perhaps, now
  this would be less mandatory since the plans are to keep the API
  stable.
