[R] make check FAILS -> Error code 1...comparing d-p-q-r-tests.Rout

[Prof Brian Ripley]

The problem is a known one and solved in R 2.1.1-patched.  On your OS the 
result is not as accurate as most, but the tolerance set was too tight so 
the test failure is not something to worry about.

Please install R-patched instead, as it has many bug fixes in place.
