Comment (by charpent):

 Replying to [comment:77 leif]:
 > ? Fixing the bug in `R_PCRE` certainly belongs to upgrading R to 3.2.0,
 since the new version introduced the bug, and as you have seen, it hits at
 least some of us (depending on the system configuration).

 1. This version introduced the bug : you're right, as far as I can tell.
 Your case seems to be a corner case.
 2. It's the same problem : no. This is, as far as I understand, a problem
 with the build infrastructure of Sage. The new R version just revealed a
 latent bug in a very loosely related part of this infrastructure.

 If I'd found this bug, I'd have opened a distinct ticket (T2) and made the
 present ticket (T1) depend on the new ticket (T2). That way, each
 different problem would have been identified in the tickets database. As
 should have been done when a previous version of R opened a Cygwin-related
 saga...

 Am I clearer ?
