Hi,
I was running the example in getBM and got the following error:

getBM(attributes=c("affy_hg_u95av2","hgnc_symbol","chromosome_name","band"),filters="affy_hg_u95av2",values=c("1939_at","1503_at","1454_at"),
mart=mart)
Error in getBM(attributes = c("affy_hg_u95av2", "hgnc_symbol",
"chromosome_name",  :
  could not find function "postForm"

Here is the sessionInfo:

I also tried with some other data, but it doesn't seem to work anyway.
I have attached the output of debug to this mail. Please let me know
what's happening here.
