[R] plot of all.effects object

All, 

I'm trying to plot an all.effects() object, as shown in the help for
all.effects and also Crawley's R book (p.178, 2007). The data has a repeated
measures structure, but I'm using all.effects for the simple lm() fit here.
Below is a reproducible example that yields the error message.


fm.ex = lm(dv ~ time.num*drug*X, data = dat.new)
fm.effects = all.effects(fm.ex, xlevels = list(time.num = 1:4))

> plot(fm.effects, "time.num:Drug:X")
Error in plot.window(...) : need finite 'xlim' values
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In min(x) : no non-missing arguments to min; returning Inf
2: In max(x) : no non-missing arguments to max; returning -Inf
3: In min(x) : no non-missing arguments to min; returning Inf
4: In max(x) : no non-missing arguments to max; returning -Inf

Cheers,
David
