The multcomp functions work on "lm" objects as anticipated.
They do not work on "aov" objects.  Somehow the inheritance isn't
being acknowledged.  I can't spot where in the code the problem lies.
Somewhere the df argument for "aov" objects is not defined.
My workaround is to change the class of the "aov" object to "lm".
