[R-SIG-Mac] Please test R 4.0.4 RC

[Simon Urbanek]

John,

thanks, yes, it has not actually disappeared, but I am now explicitly suppressing it (only in the console stderr forwarding, it will still appear in the logs if you run the debug version or disable stderr forwarding). It is a rather terrible hack, but until I have a way to replicate and find what macOS-internal part is triggering it, it's better to suppress it as it is confusing people that are taking it for an error.

Thanks,
Simon
