Thanks for doing that. I was about to beg you do it. As I mentioned, I seem
to recall that it also works swimmingly on Romain's OS X machine.  So there
error may be somewhere between Simon and his computers ...

Fresh from SVN I reckon. I happen to have built one from the r-devel branch
earlier which says
  R version 2.13.0 Under development (unstable) (2011-02-22 r54544)
and then there are of course the R 2.12.2 pre-releases (currently at 'rc'
following 'alpha' and 'beta') per the usual schedule (and I put two of them
into Debian unstable too).

Simon is probably running those 2.12.2 pre-releases.
