John, Looks like several packages are failing to dump or load with messages like (SparseM)
Error in warning("Undefined slot classes in definition of \"", [EMAIL PROTECTED], : Object "classDef" not found So far I have seen this with SparseM, dynamicGraph (and hence deal and gRbase). Should that be `ClassDef'? And is this a new error detected?
