In testing pqR on Solaris SPARC systems, I have found two bugs that are also present in recent R Core versions. You can see the bugs and fixes at the following URLs:
https://github.com/radfordneal/pqR/commit/739a4960a4d8f3a3b20cfc311518369576689f37 https://github.com/radfordneal/pqR/commit/339b7286c7b43dcc6b00e51515772f1d7dce7858 The first bug, in nls, is most likely to occur on a 64-bit big-endian system, but will occur with low probability on most platforms. The second bug, in readBin, may occur on systems in which unaligned access to data more than one byte in size is an error, depending on details of the compiler. It showed up with gcc 4.9.2 on a SPARC system. The fix slightly changes the error behaviuor, signaling an error on inappropriate reads before reading any data, rather than after reading one (but not all) items as before.
