[R-SIG-Mac] 2.2.0 beta, small problem with the "do_download" test

[Don MacQueen]

Earlier today I downloaded R 2.2.0 beta (I believe it was the latest 
at that time), R-beta_2005-09-29_r35712.tar.gz and built from source 
on an OS X Mac (10.3.9).

One of the tests run by 'make check' indicated a (small) problem.

I have a strong memory of seeing a post recently on this topic, or 
one closely related, but I can't find it. So, I apologize if this is 
a duplicate report.

For 2.2.0 beta, configure was:
