Will try to contact the maintainer on some private way and report back.

There are two errors in the R package nortest. I tried to contact the maintainer Juergen Gross but to no avail. How should one progress if the mail address is still valid but the maintainer does not answer or react in any way, e.g. since he left the university? The automatic R checking system for orphaned packages will not catch such a situation, I guess. And now on to the errors: The first error in the function cvm.test was in a way found by http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/06/06/29029.html but the data set shows only the effect. Here is the problem: The approximation formula used in cvm.test has the effect that the p-value increases for very large values of the test statistic WW (WW>=1.334). Therefore very large values of WW result in absurd p values (as one can see in the given link). The easiest approach would be to set the resulting p-value to 0 for large values of WW (e.g. WW>=1.334) The second error in the function lillie.test was described in https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2007-July/046282.html but this error is really harmless since in p <- pnorm((x - mean(x))/sd(x)) the case sd(x)==0 was not caught.
