[BioC] biomaRt error

[Wolfgang Huber]

Dear Lakshmanan

thank you for reporting this! In the future, please send a fully 
reproducible example (I cannot tell what the values of your "attributes" 
and "snps" variables are).

Also, can you please try downloading and installing the most recent 
version of biomaRt from http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/devel/bioc 
and then tell us whether a problem persists.
(For better or worse, the online webservice that biomaRt connects to 
updates more frequently, and at different times, than Bioconductor 
releases.)

	Thank you
	Wolfgang
