I just noticed that behaviour yesterday, and had not much time yet to investigate it. I compiled 1.7.0 myself (but compared with the binary provided on CRAN; no changes). I used the 1.7.1 binary provided on CRAN. I know these binaries are not supported, so we (Windows users) will have to look at that by ourselve. Indeed yes, I'll first compile 1.7.1 with the same compiler I used for 1.7.0.
I doubt if this is worth R-core's time to pursue, so over to interested users to find an explanation and fix.
OK. But I was wondering if people at R-core team, especially those who worked on Windows specific aspects, would have in mind some changes they did between 1.7.0 and 1.7.1 than can cause this. Since these changes are mainly corrections of bugs, the list is hopefully not so long... and it could help a lot to have these hints. Thanks very much.
No idea from me, and the effect is not seen on other platforms.
