Thanks Ivan. That may well be the key. When I unpacked the tarball
created without the --compact-vignettes=both flag, I found that
inst/doc/algorithm.pdf had size 403 Kb, whereas with that flag set
it had size 108 Kb.
I'll re-submit now and see what happens.
I *really* think that the instructions from CRAN could have been
clearer! Without your guidance I'd have been at a total loss.
cheers,
Rolf
