Maybe don't run the test if it always fails, and you cannot control the setting? Rcpp has had conditional tests for (I guess at least) 5+ years -- I just test if the version number has four components (ie 0.1.2.3, a test version) as opposed to three (ie 0.1.3, a release) and test only on the former (my box, Travis, ... but not CRAN). That started because CRAN had its time limit, but the idea is generally valid. | In general, is there any info available about the CRAN check servers?

You can ask, and eventually someone will answer, but "those in charge" are busy too.
