[R] hybrid in fisher.test broken?

The hybrid feature in fisher.test looks to me like an excellent way to
analyze my two-way tables. The only problem is that it does not seem
to be implemented. Am I right about this?
An example is pasted below. I note that I get the warning message only
when I shouldn't: for a 2x2 table hybrid seems to be ignored without
warning. In no case does fisher.test seem to be checking Cochran
criteria as promised.
Any help will be appreciated.

LDKEY is too small for this problem.
Try increasing the size of the workspace.
In addition: Warning message:
'hybrid' is ignored for a 2 x 2 table in: fisher.test(m, hybrid = TRUE)
