No I don't think so. Maybe an architecture specific problem? You are on a 64-bit system, I'm on a 32-bit system. I was able to reproduce on 3 systems so far (with any version of R): - on my Pentium M laptop with Ubuntu 6.06 - on a Linux SUSE 9.2 32-bit system - on a Core 1 Duo (32-bit) Mac Mini All those systems are 32-bits. I've tried on a couple of 64-bit systems and I don't get this problem.
