The other big-endian box I tested was perotto.debian.net [*], it says: > Sys.info()[["machine"]] [1] "ppc64" > Should we test for endianness instead? And then maybe try to roll up to the > cause of the difference? I've just tested on 32-bit big-endian and the glmmTMB problem does not occur there, so at this stage I would say test for big-endian **and** 64 bits. Just to be clear, is the fix you are proposing in Matrix going to fix the glmmTMB error? If a bug shows up on 64-bit big-endian, but not on little-endian or 32-bit big-endian, then it's usually a sign that somewhere a 64-bit variable is incorrectly being read or written to as a 32-bit variable.
