The underlyign issue seems to remain unresolved.
My best guess is still to low-level bugs somewhere in the libraries
used.
However, to help users,
I'm willing to *not* run those tests when *running* on the Mac.
What does
Sys.info()[["sysname"]]
return on the Mac, i.e., different versions of R running on the
Mac?
From grepping around I'd expect it give "Darwin" in all cases.
Is that true?
