what does sessionInfo() say (i.e., is your R current; is this
something special to your OS or LOCALE)? Have you done this in a
'clean' R session, e.g., starting R from the shell with R --vanilla ?
And for what it's worth
> read.table("~/tmp/tmp.txt", header=TRUE, check.names=FALSE)
AM2 AM2 AM2 FAL
1 2 3 4 5
2 1 -1 -3 -2
