Your sessionInfo() indicates that you are not using the current release of
R + Bioconductor. Since we don't support old releases, I highly recommend
that you upgrade your installation (R-2.9.0 + BioC 2.4 is the current release).

There are 2 LD() functions: one defined in the genetics package, and the other
one defined in the GeneticsBase package. By default you get the former (because
genetics comes first in your search() path). If you want the latter, please use
fully qualified names e.g. GeneticsBase::LD()

Maybe in the past you didn't have this symbol masking issue because either
genetics was not on your way or it didn't have the LD() function...

Cheers,
H.
