Dear R-Devel subscriber, as a follow up to my yesterday's email: I tested an analogous example with the S4-package "flexclust" by executing the following code:
library(flexclust) example(cclust) cl After saving the work space and starting a new R process with the restored work space, the same behaviour (i.e., the methods pertinent to "flexclust" are not used, even after executing library(flexclust)). Yesterday, I executed the code below on a Linux platform with R 2.4.0 and it showed the same behaviour as R 2.5.0dev on Windows. As it seems right now, the behaviour is platform independent and not peculiar to R 2.5.0dev. Any pointers and help for solving this problem is much appreciated.
