Thanks for posting that. It tells you that an external dll has caused the floating point precision to change, but R has changed it back. It's a sign of a bug that needs fixing. I'll look into it. This change in mentioned in the CHANGES file. You can read more about it in the dyn.load help page. Duncan Murdoch
