Subject: [Rd] Macintosh rm162 fails read.table() from sample (PR#2485)
Message-ID: <200301220754.IAA22950@pubhealth.ku.dk>

This is already reported and already fixed in R-patched.
The relevant report is PR#2469.

Neither that nor your report specified which Mac port this is, although I 
could guess from you use of `rm162'.
If it is happening in the classic MacOS port then perhaps Stefano could 
patch it: he is aware of the problem.
