[R] start() in zoo

[Gabor Grothendieck]

My best guess at your data based on what you posted works fine:

> d <- zoo(c(NA, 8.792, 8.725))
> start(d)
[1] 1
> packageDescription("zoo")$Version
[1] "1.5-3"
> R.version.string # Vista
[1] "R version 2.7.0 Patched (2008-05-11 r45672)"


Try sending me the output of dput(d) along with the version info
so the problem can be recreated.
