Thank you, Rich, for the update.

Note however that this is a *beta* version of S-plus,
that I'd guess 95--99.5% of S-plus users are *not* using currently.
Here, ETH has been paying a site licence for S-plus for many
years, but we haven't been able to even use S-plus 7.x, because
of problems that seem to make it impossible that the ETH-central licence server
can continued to be used for S+7 (given the current IT
infrastructure & staff).

[who were you hoping for ? ;-)]

I'd say we are thankful if you continue to do so,
to R-devel typically rather than R-bugs,
particularly in border cases like the current one.
