[datatable-help] Cannot use fread with data.table 1.8.10

[Matthew Dowle]

That's very odd.   Phew - glad it's working now though!

All I can think is that it was to do with the install process on Windows 
when an R process is open at the same time with data.table loaded in 
it.  We've had similar issues in the past sometimes where a reboot 
followed by reinstall of data.table works.    The reboot ensures that 
every last nuance of .dll usage is cleared. And the reboot also ensures 
that all versions of R are shut down.    Linux seems much better at 
updating shared objects (.so) which are in use by processes,  although 
similar problems have been reported on Linux too when (my best guess is) 
a zombie process holds up something in the install process.      Only 
one or two reports, mind you.

The error about integer64 suggests that maybe the byte code didn't match 
up with the DLL code (since that's a new argument). Something like that, 
anyway, maybe.
