Actually on checking back through the records, I can see that none of the 
Bioconductor
release versions of limma would have given the below error. You must be 
using an
in-between version of limma from between Feb 8 and March 20 of this year
with a later version (after March 20) of statmod.

As an Bioinformatics Specialist, I'm sure you will appreciate that it is a 
good idea
to quote the version number of software that you're asking questions about, 
and that
it is a good idea to try updating to current software to see if it solves 
your problem.
