Please use the svn revision for unreleased versions of R.  

There is no 'R= =20
2.3.0' and the version changes several times a day.  But we do expect=20
'make check' to have been run successfully on each of those versions.

You are reporting as a bug in R a problem on your own system in an=20
unreleased ('unstable') version of R.  

Since it is unstable and=20 
unreleased, such things are by definition not bugs in R.

Others are not seeing this, so we cannot do anything about the problems=20
seen on your system.  This is not at all a new test, and although random=20
it is run with set.seed(1). I can reproduce the result in the output file=
=20
(on my systems) exactly by

set.seed(1)
hist(replicate(100, mean(rexp(10))))

Please see if you can debug it on your own system.  (My guess would be=20
that it only occurs as part of the test file.)

I did not find any problems in "./configure" and "make", but "make check"
fails:
