  Oddly enough, it behaves differently on MacOS and Linux.

this code:
==========
library(phylobase)
download.file("http://www.math.mcmaster.ca/bolker/badnex.nxs",
   "badnex.nxs")
r1 <- readNexus("badnex.nxs")
r2 <- read.nexus("badnex.nxs")  ## works
plot(r2)  ## works
=========

crashes R under R 2.11.1,
x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0,

other attached packages:
[1] phylobase_0.6.1 Rcpp_0.8.6      ape_2.5-3


But under R 2.12.0,
i486-pc-linux-gnu (32-bit) (running under VMWare Fusion), I get

## storing read block: TAXA
## Error in readNCL(file = file, simplify = simplify, type = type,
## char.all = char.all,  :
##  Unknown taxon D s strain  in TRANSLATE command.

## other attached packages:
## [1] phylobase_0.6.1 Rcpp_0.8.7.1    ape_2.6

 A little surprising because I would have expected the same exception to
be thrown in both cases?

  Unfortunately NCL is absolutely rife with throw/catch stuff, all of
which will have to be escaped with macros -- argh.

  cheers
   Ben
