Dear Martin,

thank you for your answer. My question is indeed the same as:

http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e2/devel/07/09/4469.html

Sorry for missing it.

I just tried with the current devel version:
R version 2.8.0 Under development (unstable) (2008-05-23 r45768)
i686-pc-linux-gnu

and the problem still occured.
I also read the answers to you previously-cited post. I too believe it 
is still better not to load the package automatically than loading it 
with undesired side-effects. Maybe a word about this issue would be 
useful in the manpage of 'show'?

Best,

Thibaut.
