Naaarrr, mate, don't panic. The R packages compare pre-generated output to actual output, and tend to have the numerical precision too tight, in particular for the foreign package that is focussed on importing data sets for other statistical applications. I can detail this some more if you wish but rest assured that there are no bus errors anywhere. See http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=foreign for almost two years of happy build logs. Now, cdbs is really broken so I can't upload the fix anyway. Dirk -- Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something. -- Thomas A.
