CRAN check error with no example?

Hi, Henrik:


        Thanks.  That suggests I should ignore this error message. That
was my tentative plan, but I felt a need to mention it to this group
before I did.

Brian Ripley tracked this to a bug in the parser, and I got a 
reproducible version of it to work on today.  Turns out it was a 
fairly obscure garbage collection/protection bug in the parser, which 
should now be fixed.  I don't think it really has anything to do with 
your code, you just got lucky and triggered a garbage collection at 
the right (wrong?) time.

If you see it again, please don't ignore it, please let me know.

        Best Wishes,

For what it's worth, I got that exact same error the other day when
running R CMD check --as-cran on fda v2.2.8 and 'hyperSpec
v0.98-20120713 (out of 84 other packages) when using R Under
development (unstable) (2012-08-14 r60264) [Platform:
x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)].  Those errors did not show with R

Hello, All:


         The CRAN checks for the "fda" package includes one error:


The error most likely occurred in ... file.copy2
...

Error: unprotect_ptr: pointer not found
Execution halted


(http://www.r-project.org/nosvn/R.check/r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian/fda-00check.html) 



         The help page for "file.copy2" includes "\examples" with
everything wrapped in "\dontrun".


         I'm unable to replicate this error.  I'm about to submit a 
new
version of the fda package to CRAN, but I felt a need to ask about 
this
first.


         Thanks,
         Spencer
