BACKGROUND: In recent versions of R-devel, sessionInfo() has a 'tzone' element, e.g.
sessionInfo()$tzone
[1] "America/Los_Angeles"
ISSUE:
Some time zones, like the one above, has an underscore. This
underscore is *not* escaped by utils:::toLatex.sessionInfo, e.g.
$ TZ="America/Los_Angeles" Rscript --vanilla -e "toLatex(sessionInfo())"
\begin{itemize}\raggedright

\end{itemize}
This causes LaTeX-based vignettes using toLatex(sessionInfo()) to fail
their LaTeX compilation with an error, e.g.
Error: processing vignette 'mypkg.Rnw' failed with diagnostics:
Running 'texi2dvi' on 'mypkg.tex' failed.
LaTeX errors:
! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>
$
l.684 \item Time zone America/Los_
Angeles
! LaTeX Error: Command \item invalid in math mode.
SUGGESTION:
To fix this, either escape any underscores, e.g.
\item Time zone America/Los\_Angeles
or use \verb as done elsewhere:
\item Time zone \verb|America/Los_Angeles|
