Subject: [Rd] gctorture and proc.time (PR#10600)
Message-ID: <20080122000532.E47302834619@mail.pubhealth.ku.dk>

In R version 2.6.1 (2007-11-26)
and R version 2.6.1 Patched (2008-01-19 r44061)
on openSUSE 10.2 (X86-64)

> gctorture()
> proc.time()
Error: protect(): protection stack overflow

The problem with this is that then

R CMD check --use-gct foo

ALWAYS FAILS with

> cat("Time elapsed: ", proc.time() - get("ptime", pos = 'CheckExEnv'),"\n")
Error in proc.time() - get("ptime", pos = "CheckExEnv") :
  non-numeric argument to binary operator

This does not happen in R version 2.4.1 (2006-12-18)

I was going to have my computing class try out --use-gct.
I guess not until this is fixed.
