Dear Obby, Thanks. In the future, when you have a question about something that happens in a particular package, keep in mind that it is customary to contact the package maintainer (me), rather than file a bug report with the R developers.
In that case, I would have alerted you that this problem has already been found and a fix was posted: please see http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e4/help/08/04/8178.html This will be included in the next release of prob, on which I am currently working. I expect it to be ready by August.
