[R] namespaces not available

[Göran Broström]

This happened to me with R-1.7.0, Linux RH9:

------------------------------------------------------------------
> q()
Save workspace image? [y/n/c]: y
Warning messages: 
1: namespaces may not be available when loading 
2: names in persistent strings are currently ignored 


gb at lasker:~/R/test$ R

Error in get(x, envir, mode, inherits) : variable "biplot" was not found
Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData

(what is "biplot"??)

But

gb at lasker:~/R/test$  R --vanilla

> load(".RData")
 [1] ".Random.seed" ".Traceback"   "f.PQL"        "f.ml"         "fit"

Seems to work. What is happening?
