Full_Name: Steven L. Scott Version: 2.2.1 OS: Windows-Cygwin Submission from: (NULL) (128.125.60.50) I've had problems unpacking the R source coded downloaded from http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/R/CRAN/src/base/R-2/R-2.2.1.tar.gz
This is not a bug in R!!! The Statlib mirror is known to be broken. Please download from another mirror. Please check the archives before submitting a bug report! Uwe Ligges
