[R-SIG-Mac] rgdal problem with wintri projection (OSX, R-3.3.0, rgdal 1.1-9)

[Simon Urbanek]

Thanks, that was the correct hint - updating PROJ4 to 4.9.1 seems to fix the issue. The new binary is now up - until all mirrors sync up please use the main Mac server:
install.packages("rgdal",,"http://r.research.att.com")

Roger, can you, please, add a corresponding regression test to rgdal so a failure like the one below would be picked up on check?

Thanks,
Simon
