Thanks for the package reference. The description is promising, but using it 
still resulted in non-identical objects.

All of this leads me to think that the lack of control over the CRAN platforms 
and the difficulty (if not impossibility) of testing what I want to test mean 
that it is reasonable to remove my attempts to test it from the package that I 
upload to CRAN. Thoughts?
