The problem is coming from the example in TimeDateSubsets.Rd . This
year Easter is at the end of March and in the example one tries to find
the window time period of Easter in April. to solve it, one can
increase the array of dates:

Instead of:
## Dates in April, currentYear: 
   tS = timeSequence(
      from = paste(currentYear, "-04-01", sep = ""),
      to = paste(currentYear, "-04-30", sep = ""))

one should do:
## Dates in March and April, currentYear: 
   tS = timeSequence(
      from = paste(currentYear, "-03-01", sep = ""),
      to = paste(currentYear, "-04-30", sep = ""))


When this is fixed, there is another error:
----------------------------------------------
 ERROR
Running the tests in 'tests/doRUnit.R' failed.
Last 13 lines of output:

  Error in eval.with.vis(expr, envir, enclos) :

------------------------------------------------

this error has been fixed in the new version of fCalendar. One can
just copy the runitTimeDateSubsets.R file. 

All these errors have been fixed in
https://svn.r-project.org/Rmetrics/trunk/fCalendar

Question : Should we submit the new version of fCalendar or fix the
error in fCalendar 260.72 and submit it as 260.73? 

I would vote for the new version of fCalendar because we also fixed
problems in DST tables and in holidays functions.
