Thanks for sending. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce it. I've copied
part of the log below when run with the --verbose flag. As you can see
it runs three times.

Here are the files that exist afterwards:

$ ls Rd2.*
Rd2.aux  Rd2.dvi  Rd2.idx  Rd2.ilg  Rd2.ind  Rd2.log  Rd2.out  Rd2.tex  Rd2.toc

It could be informative if you would list the files that exist
beforehand and post the output of "texi2dvi --verbose Rd2.tex".

My only guess is that some derived file (e.g. sorted index file) has
been deleted and texi2dvi doesn't realise that it is missing and needs
to be regenerated. But the error message you got mentions Rd2.out:

Package rerunfilecheck Warning: File `Rd2.out' has changed.
(rerunfilecheck)                Rerun to get outlines right
(rerunfilecheck)                or use package `bookmark'.

which is a file that is compared.

Also I have no clue about this:
>returns 1

If you post the output of texi2dvi --verbose it may give a better clue
about where it quits with this exit status.
