[R-sig-Geo] problem with extract() raster package using weight=TRUE

[Robert J. Hijmans]

The error occurs if "over" is called; whether this happens depends on
the polygons and the raster used. In earlier versions overlay was used
and there was less checking of CRS in that case. This problem has been
fixed in the next version of raster (2.1-56). For now, I think the
work around -- unlike what I said before -- is to set the CRS of both
datasets to NA.
