What was downloaded was R version 3.3.2 RC (2016-10-26 r71594), not the advertised patched version.

Usually it is the case that the versions at CRAN and at the r.research.att.com site are the same. It appears that Simon forgot to update his own site when he pushed the current version to CRAN. As I showed in my earlier posting yesterday, the CRAN site delivers a more recent version. I suspect it does not have a Patched label because it was the final release and has not been modified since then.
