[R-sig-ME] debugging glmmTMB 1.1.3 on Windows

[Mollie Brooks]

Dear R-sig-mixed,

The glmmTMB developers and I are preparing a new version of the package. On some Windows systems, we get an error mentioning the `up2date` function which we provide for back compatibility. I can’t replicate it on a Windows laptop that I’m unfamiliar with because I get an different error about "file too big". To progress any further with that laptop, I need to figure out how to add a "/bigobj flag" (https://digitalkarabela.com/mingw-w64-how-to-fix-file-too-big-too-many-sections/ <https://digitalkarabela.com/mingw-w64-how-to-fix-file-too-big-too-many-sections/>), but still the Windows system is unfamiliar to me, so it would be even more helpful if someone with Windows skills could figure out what’s going on with the errors below. We think the way to reproduce them might be using devtools::run_examples()

cheers,
Mollie
