cor.test and SuppDists give me different P-values for the same
Spearman's rho. Which is correct, or am I doing something wrong?

> y <- c( 2.6, 3.1, 2.5, 5.0, 3.6, 4.0, 5.2, 2.8, 3.8)
> cor.test(x,y,method="spearman")
Spearman's rank correlation rho
data: x and y
S = 48, p-value = 0.0968
alternative hypothesis: true rho is not equal to 0
sample estimates:
rho
0.6
> 2*(1-pSpearman(.6,9))
[1] 0.08572531
