[BioC] probelms with hexbin (Solaris, R1.9, BioC 1.4)

[Wolfgang Huber]

Hi Ariel,

does the problem persist if you use R-2.0.0 and the newest hexbin?
Whithout knowing any of the details - has anyone got hexbin running with 
64 bit?

A slightly different, but related functionalility (false color 
representations of density estimates) is also provided by the function
smoothScatter in the package prada (development version), you could try 
whether you find it useful (see the examples).
