Hi,

I am routinely compiling a package and since I have moved to R 2.10.0, 
it troncates some section texts in the doc:

With the following section in the rd file:

\details{
 The function calls gpsbabel via the system. The gpsbabel program must 
be present and on the user's PATH for the function to work see 
<http://www.gpsbabel.org/>. The function has been tested on the 
following Garmin GPS devices: Etrex Summit, Etrex Vista Cx and GPSmap 60CSx.
}

...compiling under R 2.9.2 (rcmd build --binary --auto-zip pgirmess) I

You will need to make the complete file available to us to diagnose 
this.  Is it in pgirmess 1.4.0?  Which topic?

Just to end up the thread, here is the solution, thanks to Duncan Murdoch:

"It was an embarassing bug in the C code that did tab expansion:  it 
could only handle lines with 200 chars in them, and yours had about 270, 
so the last part was lost.

It will soon be fixed in R-patched, to become 2.10.1 in due course.
