anyone familiar with this error?

Don't really know but you could see if the info in Avoiding R Bugs
section on the http:/r-proto.googlecode.com page applies, particularly
the first point on Lazy Loading.

I've tried a few things, but can't seem to track down the problem.

it's leaving core files in my package directory.  (not in the .Rcheck
directory, directly in the package dir)
