It looks like no one tested the beta of 2.1.0 for Windows in an East Asian 
or cyrillic locale.  In most cases example() will fail there.

If this is likely to affect you, please use R-patched instead.

We really do need help from the users in the beta-test period, especially 
in languages not used by the core team.  (Even the Chinese translator does 
not himself use R in Chinese.)  So the beta testing is happening now:
please give R-patched a thorough workout.
