read.table is not generic in 2.2.0 and it calls 

.Internal(readTableHead(file, nlines, comment.char,
        blank.lines.skip, quote, sep))


So where did  read.table.default() come into play? Is it picking up a
version that you yourself have modified perhaps? Or are you using some
package which redefines read.table and needs to be updated for 2.2.0?
