[BioC] problem with read.table

[Robert Gentleman]

Since you do not follow the posting guide and provide sessionInfo (nor 
identify yourself), there is little anyone can do to help, the problem 
is almost sure operator error (neither the released nor current devel 
versions of R gives me the result you are claiming), and if not, it is 
an R problem, not a bioconductor one and you should be posting there, 
not here
