Graham, Martin,
So I logged back onto the s390x box we can access. Matrix 1.13-2 does fail
the factorization test when doing
_R_CHECK_FORCE_SUGGESTS_=false R CMD check --no-manual \
--no-vignettes Matrix_1.3-2.tar.gz
and Matrix 1.2-18 passes it. So Graham was right all-along that there was
something in the 1.3-0 transition. Now, is that ultimately Matrix or the
underlying QR code it uses? I don't know. But it reasonably easy for me to
get access (and install the required packages) so once Martin has time to
think through an approach or two I can likely test it.
Best, Dirk
