[R] Problems with Rcmd build --- windows

[kjetil brinchmann halvorsen]

Hola!

I am using Rcmd build --binary ... on a windows XP system, and am 
encountering a strange problem. Rcmd claims there are syntax errors 
in one of mine .Rd files

******* Syntax error: mismatched or missing brackets in

I take "brackets" to mean [], and I have none of them in the file, 
and don't think they are needed. Rcmd prints out the offending file, 
and in the printout I can find:

 \itemnormal-bracket1001bracket-normalVALUnormal-bracket1001bracket-
normal{a factor, did you ever in life use alucinogenos,  with levels 
                \code{No} \code{Si}}             

Which is of course not what I have in my file, I have

 \item{VALU}{a factor, did you ever in life use alucinogenos,  with 
levels 
                \code{No} \code{Si}}    

This strange expansion of the braces {} does not occur any other 
place. I am running Rcmd from a shell window in Xemacs.

Any explanation of this strange happening?
