No I don't actually. But I see them as operating in a context
in which ``side effects'' are desirable. I of course considered
the possibility that the call ``arimaSS(x,mod)'' was there for
an induced side effect, but since that sort of thing is generally
considered very bad R programming I dismissed the notion out
of hand.
