Dear developers.
Have spend just 1 h searching for a bug in a new version of a new version of a package.
I was getting a segfault all the time. "Funny" thing - there was no error neither in the S nor in the C code.
To solve the problem I had to delete the .Rdata file!
What I observed. If the .Rdata file was generated while a previous release of a package was installed in the .Rdata file the S4 classes and methods definition are stored for some reasons. It may be of course that I have sourced the method definition what would explain why they are in .Rdata. More interestingly is that even if loading a new version of a package with library(msbase)
the function definitions stored in .Rdata precede the methods of the newly loaded package in the search path. They are called instead of the new method definitions (?).
So If I wass calling what I thought is the new version of the method the old method stored months ago in the .Rdata file was called again and again.
Is not there a better way to avoid such problems than deleting the .Rdata file?
