[Rd] Re: setClass question

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Roger,

This seems to be related to a recent bug in the methods package. Try

library(SparseM)
getGenerics(2)

and you will see that it is wrong, and most of the base generics are
being attributed to SparseM.  I understand the same bug is causing 
problems in undoc().
