[BioC] makePDpackage problem

This is an error I have fixed in the devel branch (boils down to a
problem in affyio). If there is sufficient demand I will back-patch it
to the release branch. The bug was originally manifesting only in the
windows build, and drove me crazy for the better part of a weekend, was
basically driven by an interaction between pointer aliasing and gcc
optimization.

Best,

Ben
