I did a search for "_copy" on your Github source, and I see a dir 
containing that being created in a test (but apparently removed 
afterwards), and also being created in the sims.Rmd vignette without 
being removed (though a file in the directory is removed).

No idea why you see the NOTE only on some platforms.
