In case you were unaware you _can_ get current R versions, now R 3.5.2, for
Debian stable thanks to the backports administered by Johannes Ranke -- see
http://cloud.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/

I see no real reason for a package developer aiming for CRAN to use a
twice-outdated R version.

I suspect locale and sorting settings but I don't know for sure. In any case,
I would not start by debugging on an outdated R version.
