Error in checking an R package with `rchk`

rchk can be used to check R packages with compiled code. Along with other tools, rchk is now used to check relevant CRAN packages and a related Additional issues page is linked on the the CRAN check results page.

When testing my package using a local installation of rchk I get the following report:

ERROR: too many states (abstraction error?) in function strptime_internal

I have no idea of what it means. My package does not use any strptime function.

I have a similar message when I check the dplyr or the jpeg package as installed from the CRAN.

I asked this question at rchk.

The message means that the function strptime_internal (which is an R internal function) is too complicated for 'rchk' to analyze.

Other functions will still be analysed; if you see the line Analyzed XX functions, traversed XX states and no other error messages, then you can consider the check a success.
