I noticed when writing my Rdoc for bigdecimal that the Init_ function in 
bigdecimal.c was called Init_bigdecimal, rather than Init_BigDecimal, so 
it didn't match the class name -- which confused Rdoc. Could that be 
related to this problem in some way?

I opted not to change it, and to put in a fake #ifed out function to 
fool Rdoc into generating documentation. If that wasn't the right thing 
to do, and the function should really be Init_BigDecimal, I could revise 
the patches to fix the problem as well as add doc, as they haven't been 
checked in by anyone yet anyway.
