[datatable-help] RecordLinkage, randomNames and data.table 1.7.8

[Prof Brian Ripley]

The recent patch-level update to data.table appears to have broken the 
first two packages: see the CRAN check logs at
http://cran.r-project.org/web/checks/check_summary.html

Please negotiate remedial action amongst yourselves.

It would be nice if package maintainers checked the effect of their 
changes on dependencies before submission to save the CRAN team this all 
too frequent task.
