+* C function `do_wcentre` (weighted centring) can segfault due to a
+  protection error. The problem was found in automatic CRAN
+  checks. `do_wcentre` is an internal function that is called from
+  `envfit` (`vectorfit`), `wcmdscale` and `varpart` (`simpleCCA`)
+  Fixes bug [#653](https://github.com/vegandevs/vegan/issues/653).
