Is there is mis-match between the pc and sun checks? For the limma package,
the pc check seems to be on an older version of the package, one replaced 4
or 5 days before the date stamp on the check. There are quite a few
packages which are generating errors or warnings for the pc check but not
the sun, so could there be a general problem of some sort?
