Obscure error in R package when setting a specific environment variable

[exalate-issue-sync]

Reported by BDR and we will be pulled from CRAN if we don’t fix by April 7.

There is a clear coding error in h2o:
else if (type == “numeric” && value == “Infinity”)
value <- Inf
else if (type == “numeric” && value == “-Infinity”)
value <- -Inf
can only be correct if type and value both have length one. And there is no check that either is and one of them was of length 3.
To reproduce that I used
env R_CHECK_LENGTH_1_LOGIC2=verbose R
library(lazytrade)
example(aml_make_model)
(even with R 4.1.3 and even on macOS).
