 Robert,

 I tried the process last night (my time) using the initial instructions
 on my FC5 system with:

 I could not replicate the problem.

 However, this morning, with your additional communication:

 So I am wondering if this raises the possibility of a locale issue on
 your FC5 system resulting in a problem reading DESCRIPTION files?  It
 may be totally unrelated, but one never knows I suppose. Mine is:

 $ locale

 HTH,

 Marc Schwartz

That's a bug in tools:::Rd_aliases (it needs to preprocess the Rd lines,
which re-encodes if necessary and possible).

I'll commit a fix later today.

Thanks for spotting this.

What happens if you fire up R --quiet and submit
