It's calculated when printed. This is somewhat in bad style (according
to my tastes at least), but we have that happening in a few places. So
you need to redo the computations, which can be found inside
print.factanal. In 1.7.0, this function is hidden in the mva namespace
but you can view it with get("print.factanal",environment(factanal)).
