[BioC] Problem with limma topTable

Dear Bioconductors,

I came across the following problem after I switched my work to another 
computer, install the R 2.8.0. The same code works fine in my old computer 
with R 2.7.2. I would like to ask for your help.

Problem:

If I type in:
   TB <- topTable(fit3, coef=1, p=0.05, lfc=2, n=1000, adjust="BH")
I will get an error
   Error in M[sig, ] : incorrect number of dimensions

However, if I change the command to
   TB <- topTable(fit3, coef=1, p=1, lfc=0, n=1000, adjust="BH")
It works fine.
So, it seems like the error comes up whenever I need to cutoff some of the 
probes.

Here is my sessionInfo:
R version 2.8.0 (2008-10-20)
i386-pc-mingw32

locale:
LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252;LC_CTYPE=English_United

Thank you very much!
