Nonsense. You are just like a crank standing on a soap box in Hyde Park,
proclaiming the end of the universe.

You have contributed nothing of value here.  I already debunked your
so-called fix once before. By endlessly repeating the same claims, you are
not enhancing your position.  Neither does leaving your one package on CRAN
in its will-not-even-compile state [1].  How much credibility does that give
you, exactly?

Please put up (patches are welcome), or shut up.
