Please can we have the reproducible example we asked for (in the FAQ,
the posting guide ...).
We also need to know the version of foreign that worked, so can we
have the output of sessionInfo() for both sessions (see the posting
guide for what we need).
read.spss is able to read the old SPSS .sav files we have as examples,
so there has to be something different about yours -- and we have no
idea what without seeing an example. Hopefully with one we will be
able to track this down.

I have an elderly version of SPSS (version 11) which I still use. R
Version 2.6.1 would, and still will, read SPSS *.sav files produced
by SPSS version 11. R version 2.8.1 which I installed two days ago
(05/02/09) reports an error and shuts down when trying to read SPSS
version 11 *.sav files using the read.spss function in package
foreign.
R version 2.8.1 will read *.sav files produced by SPSS version 13.
The problem applies to all the existing SPSS files I had before I
downloaded R 2.8.1 and to several new SPSS 11 *.sav files I have
produced since.
