I just upgraded to phylobase 0.6.1 and found that the data in my CHARACTERS
blocks are no longer being read in (they show up as blanks in the returned
phylo4d object).

this is from the geospiza.nex dataset:

BEGIN CHARACTERS;
DIMENSIONS  NCHAR=1;
FORMAT DATATYPE = STANDARD GAP = - MISSING = ? SYMBOLS = "  0 1";
MATRIX
fuliginosa    1
fortis        1
magnirostris  0
conirostris   0
scandens      0
difficilis    1
pallida       0
parvulus      0
psittacula    0
pauper        0
Platyspiza    0
fusca         0
Pinaroloxias  0

;

END;

When it reads in, it shows up like this:
readNexus("geospiza.nex")

.......cont....

Any thoughts?  (I'm using windows 7 32-bit with R 2.11, but the error occurs
on my Mac leopard install as well.
