Thanks Pietro! I am the maintainer and found the bug.

In the 'epitab' function:

    if (method == "oddsratio") {
    ...
        else {
            fin <- list(tab = tab, measure = oddsratio, 
                  conf.level = conf.level, pvalue = pvalue, )
        }


The comma should not be after the second "pvalue". You can correct this
in your local workspace. I will correct and upload new package.
