I get an error when running `make check-all' fails on:

Here's the very end of tests/Examples/base-Ex.Rout.fail:

## find the 10 largest objects in base
z <- sapply(ls("package:base"), function(x) object.size(get(x)))

Error in get(x) : F used instead of FALSE Execution halted

Confirmed Roger's finding on RH 8.0, otherwise it compiles fine.

As an aside, RH 9 to be called 'Shrike', (curiously skipping 8.1 due to binary incompatibility issues) will be available on March 31 to paid RHN subscribers. It will be available a week later to all folks.

Folks doing development may want to be aware, if not already, of the change in the threading approach used in RH 9 which will go to the Native POSIX Threads Library. Some very brief information on the change and possible application related problems is available here:

https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/phoebe-list/2003-March/004919.html

There is also a white paper here:

http://people.redhat.com/drepper/nptl-design.pdf

I raise this in case this might in any way affect anyone's development considerations.

HTH,

Marc Schwartz
