Your use of "violated", not mine.

"For questions about functions in standard packages distributed with R  
(see the FAQ Add-on packages in R), ask questions on R-help.
If the question relates to a contributed package , e.g., one  
downloaded from CRAN, try contacting the package maintainer first.  "

Have you tried contacting the contrast package maintainer?
