Ok, then it's a different issue from what I was observing.

Do you have a reproducible example? (i.e. can you send us the code  
you run or some code that triggers the problem?).

Also can you try the CRAN binary version of R? If it is a problem  
with your compilation, then the CRAN binary may show a different  
behavior.

Thanks,
Simon
