Please check your startup environment and try to start with "--vanilla",
for example.
I guess you have something in your Startup environemnt that does not
work anymore.

[Prof Brian Ripley]

So the problem is 'a Saved File'.  Move it out of the way.

This is not a bug in R, and you have not provided any way to reproduce
this.

There is no such version.  Presumably 2.7.0.

  Dear Mr Ligges,
  Thank you for your reply. I'd like to apologize if you were so angry and offended with a new R user's misreporting of bugs. Prof. Ripley of Oxford has let me know that the phenomenon wasn't a bug already. Thank you for taking the trouble of telling me again.
  Regards,
  Charles
