[Rd] Problem with R >3.0.0

Hi all,

Thanks for getting back to me. We would like to move over to v3.0.0 on our
cluster so that we can build matrices larger than 46300*46300 (limit in R
<3.0.0)
but so far we can't get things to work with R v3.0.0 and higher. I am
trying to trouble shoot at the moment and I am now thinking that the
problem is actually with the diag function that has been rewritten in
version 3.0.0. 


The problem is definitely with the diag function and it does not occur on
smaller matrices (20000*20000) and I think it maybe a bug.
This illustrates the problem:

This was done on an iMac i5 with OSX 10.8.5 16GB Ram and with R 3.0.1 (but
I do see the same for 3.0.0). This does not occur when I run it with R
2.15.2.
