[Rd] Problem with tuned Rblas from CRAN with R-2.4.0

[Daniel Nordlund]

Thanks to Uwe Ligges and Andy Jaworski for their responses.  I thought the Rblas I was using was from CRAN master, and I when I encountered the problem originally, I downloaded a new copy from CRAN master.  However, I must have misplaced it on download and used an old copy.  Long story short, the copy I had was apparently corrupted.  I downloaded a new copy from CRAN, and all is functioning.  Thanks again for the quick responses.
