| I think you've worked this out, but I thought this line should have been:
|    double two_sample_logrank(RInside &R, double* t, int* d,
|      int sample_size){ ...

| Dirk/Romain: A quick look at the source [1] shows no copy constructor
| has been defined, which means a default one will be created that will do
| copy-by-value on all member variables... and that looks dangerous.
| 
| How about making copy private [2]? E.g. adding this section at the end
| of the class definition in RInside.h:
| 
|   private:
|    RInside(const RInside&){
| 	throw std::logic_error("Copy not allowed");
| 	}
|    RInside& operator= (const RInside&){
| 	throw std::logic_error("Assignment not allowed");
| 	}
| 
| (I had them throw in order to catch any copy attempt from inside the
| RInside class itself.)
| 
| If copy-by-value is safe, and/or copy is needed in certain
| circumstances, then ignore all that :-)

It's not a bad idea. I am trying to remember why I didn't do that when I
added the 'singleton-alike' hidden instance and initialize method...
