Thanks Bob, I'd forgotten about the option to run win-builder against R-devel.
Though it seems that in this case, all the tests are passing there too. http://win-builder.r-project.org/21kc9XGKdANF/examples_and_tests/tests_i386/testthat.Rout http://win-builder.r-project.org/21kc9XGKdANF/examples_and_tests/tests_x64/testthat.Rout I'm now completely out of ideas as to where the problem could be.
