We (Doug, Martin and I) are trying hard to debug an error in Matrix. Martin and Doug have ideas for a bugfix and I am checking right now. The latest version of Matrix that passed the checks was Matrix_0.995-1 which is still available from http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.2/last/ The error was also present in Matrix_0.995-1, but in that case (and by chance) it did not cause a crash during the examples or tests (what happens for Matrix_0.995-2 under Windows).
