portfolio.optim.default, Packages tseries quadprog (PR#348)

[Prof Brian D Ripley]

This problem is not to do with quadprog nor tseries but rbind. It is
already solved in the current R-release snapshot, and if you need this
to work under 0.90.0, I suggest you download the current daily
snapshot and build that.
