I've been following this thread hoping for the definitive answer...

My problem is that I put an ? in a reference in an Rd file, and now my 
builds fail on some of my systems. I can switch which systems work and 
which are broken, but I can not get it to work on all systems. I have 
spent way too much time trying to figure out what is wrong. So, wrt "so 
what", I need to choose between checking my packages on all the 
different systems I use, or having an ? in the Rd file. I think my 
problem is more complicated than having the relevant glyphs. I suspect 
it has to do with having the same locale on all systems doing NFS 
mounts, or on my cvs server, or something strange like that.
