useRs,

Don't know if this requires a bug report, but
using the read.spss function on files written by the 
new SPSS 12.0 produces the following warning message:

Warning message: 
C:\data\spss.sav: Unrecognized record type 7, subtype 13 encountered in
system file. 

The data files appear to be read correctly. The warning likely results 
from changes to the file format due to SPSS increasing the size of 
variable names from 8 characters to 64.
