Yes, might be a spillover from a change in nlme which gets to urca.  So I
just re-uploaded urca as r-cran-urca_1.2-5-2, and will trigger a rebuild of
fUnitRoot depending on this version.  

That, as you indicate and as confirmed by some casual tests, should do it.

Hence sorry for what turns out to be a false alarm.
