[Rd] can you library(MASS) with R 1.9.0?

[Prof Brian Ripley]

You need the version in src/contrib/1.9.0/Recommended on cran (and you do 
for several other recommended packages).

tools/rsync-recommended should get you that version: is that how you are 
doing it?

As a check, MASS comes from VR version 7.2-0 in R-devel.
