[R] Sweave : some comments disappear

[Remko Duursma]

Sorry about that - I did give an example that I thought was
reproducible (it is here), but apparently wasn't.

I suspect my problem might have to do with the 'highlight' package I
am using - which I should have mentioned.

I am using the latest version of R.
