[rkward-devel] rkward plugintest hangs

"make pluginmaps" is an important tool for catching regressions during 
development. However, it is quite prone to false alarms, and in fact, I will 
probably remove the generic recommendation to run "make plugintests" in the 
next release.

The messages about differences in kpss.test look mostly harmless to me. In any 
case, these do not indicate a problem in rkward, but are probably due to some 
changes in the "tseries" package.

One rkward.rbackend process is started for each rkward session. This should go 
away after the frontend has exited, although in some cases this may not happen 
immediately. What happens if you wait a few minutes? Are the processes still 
around? Do they use CPU cycles?

The processes should write some diagnostic log files to /tmp. Are the 
rkward.rbackend.XXXXX files growing? Could you post one of these files to the 
list (if it is very large, the last 100 lines or so will be enough).

Regards
Thomas
