Failing CRAN checks related to vcr

[clnsmth]

Few weeks ago, EDIutils CRAN checks began failing as a result of issues in the vcr package. After the vcr v1.2.0 upgrade, EDIutils checks returned to a passing state (mostly). Two OS configurations are failing, namely r-release-windows-x86_64 and r-oldrel-windows-ix86+x86_64.

Investigate the source of these issues and fix.

Currently, these failing checks cannot be reproduced with the win-builder service.

This issue fixed itself. It may have taken a while for the platform specific builds to finalize.
