Sorry about that - it shouldn't make you pause as it was just a  
glitch in my build script because we changed compilers for the  
upcoming R 2.5.0 release.

It's all fixed now, the updated packages are on the master machine  
and should spread through the mirrors as we speak. (For those  
impatient, you can use http://r.research.att.com as a mirror to get  
the updated packages right now).

Cheers,
Simon

PS: To all: for Mac-related issues, please, always use R-SIG-Mac -  
read it and post there if you have problems. I usually try to respond  
ASAP.
