Kurt,
Uwe suggested I write to you as maintainer of chron ... at the start of
is.weekend, in the check on the argument type, maybe just change chron() to
as.chron()? This would ensure as.chron.POSIXt gets called on POSIXt
arguments, and (I think) fixes the problem. I tested and it seems ok. No
warning/error required.
> is.weekend
function(x)
{
if(!inherits(x, "dates"))
if(is.character(x) || is.numeric(x))
x <- as.chron(x) # was x <- chron(x)
else stop("x must inherit from dates")
....
}

It's not random, it depends on the value of Sys.time(), which also
includes seconds .....
I agree that a warning or error might be sensible. So I think you are
about to write a note to the maintainer of package "chron" including
patches for is.weekend() and friends?
