[R] read.dta for files from stata 9.0

[Albrecht Kauffmann]

Dear R-helpers,

if I want to read a .dta-file generated by stata 9.0 with read.dta
(foreign), I get the message
"not a stata version 5-8 .dta-file". I'm using R-2.6.2 and the latest
version of the foreign package. Has someone any hint?

With many thanks,
Albrecht
