This was not implemented in R 2.9.x -- the comments in check.in don't
agree with the usage, and it seemed unlikely that anyone really wanted
this (it can be very slow, so perhaps a test at a time?), so this was
intentional (apart from not altering the reported usage).
I've added it back for 2.9.2.
It also showed up that R CMD BATCH -d valgrind did not work (but
--debugger=valgrind did): also fixed for 2.9.2.

R-2.9.1 doesn't -- at least on my box -- and neither does R-2.10.0 (devel).
I am not sure when this stopped. I think 2.8.x did this. The only old
R I have around is 2.6.0 and it certainly does.
R CMD check --help for 2.9.1 says (among other things)
--use-valgrind use 'valgrind' when running examples/tests/vignettes
so the documentation seems to say that the old behavior should also be
the current behavior, but it isn't -- at least on my box.
oak$ cat /etc/SuSE-release
openSUSE 11.0 (X86-64)
VERSION = 11.0
oak$ valgrind --version
valgrind-3.3.0
oak$ gcc --version
gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.3.1 20080507 (prerelease) [gcc-4_3-branch revision 135036]
If this is just a stupid user problem and not a bug, how do I get the old
behavior (valgrind is run on tests). BTW valgrind is run on examples
under 2.9.0, as cat <packagename>.Rcheck/<packagename>-Ex.Rout shows.
