[R] lattice problems under Win2K and R-1.4.0

[Renaud Lancelot]

Hi Thomas,

I met the same problem (with Win98 and R-1.4.0). It also occurs with wmf
but others will work (bmp, jpeg). It seems to come from the grid
package. I went back to 1.3.1. to overcome (!) the problem...

Best regards,

Renaud
