Perhaps it was a spledding problem?

http://search.r-project.org/cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=winsorized&max=100&result=normal&sort=score&idxname=functions&idxname=Rhelp08&idxname=views&idxname=Rhelp02

If you can define what you mean by trimmed variance, I suspect that  
building a function would be straightforward.
