R Version 2.15.0/Windows XP
Maybe this will help to identify the problem (I have similar problems with
other tcltk-windows, too.)
Inserting some time delay after tktoplevel helps (on my PC):

Sys.sleep(0.1)

Many thanks for your replies.
I had a quick look at both functions:
- CRAN(): it detects timing check from --as-cran.
- queryRCmdCheck() allows to detect which part of the check is calling a
function (examples, tests?).
Both are useful!
Would be nice to have a R-base function which can provide a

screen in the Rtools installer the two check box titles (Edit the
system PATH and Save version number) will be obscured (i.e. you won't
be able to see them at all) making the screen very confusing. One just
sees two boxes on the left
Andreas,
thanks so much for this clue.
I have found that if I reduced the time in seconds from 0.1 to 0.01 to
0.001 to 0.0001 I only had problems with freezing on the 0.0001 time.
I tested on Win7(64 bit) on an Intel core i7 870 at 2.93GHz (16GB ram)(8
cores)
and a WinXP (32bit) Pentium 4 3.
Just a caveat about Sys.sleep() etc style fixes:
I've had long-standing problems with tcltk on Windows in my 'debug' package--
