So, at the end - my gut-feeling is that the error messages is not
about the arguments, but us related to the "tools:::foo".
Where should I look next? It goes a bit beyond me to know where in R
"tools:::foo" is being parsed.
Guessing here - but might be related to the switch from 32-bit to
64-bit AND that PowerPC is BigEndian rather than LittleEndian? Could
also be absolutely wrong, way off base, etc. --> shoot me down!
Thanks,
Michael
