Thanks Tom. It looks like the new RPM has not yet hit the mirrors, so I got it directly from Koji at: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=23465 I installed: diffutils-2.8.1-19.fc8.i386.rpm I'll run the full make check-all in a bit (takes over an hour), but for a quick check, I ran: $ make test-Reg running regression tests make[1]: Entering directory `/home/marcs/R.Files/SourceCode/SVN/tests' running code in 'reg-tests-1.R' ... OK running code in 'reg-tests-2.R' ... OK comparing 'reg-tests-2.Rout' to './reg-tests-2.Rout.save' ... OK running code in 'reg-IO.R' ... OK comparing 'reg-IO.Rout' to './reg-IO.Rout.save' ...

I added a comment to the above Bugzilla report, confirming that the -19 version seems to resolve the problem. If anything else pops up, I'll post back.
