[R] Running odfWeave on its own examples.odt

[info]

I have the same problem on a linux webserver. It has to do with the locale.
Until now,I do'nt have a solution, but I have a (unsatisfactory) workaround.
This only happens when the text contains non-ascii characters like trema's (
ë) or accents (é). Double quotes also gives problems, but single quotes
do'nt.

I just tried that in WinXP 32 bit, and it ran without problem.  This was in
R-patched, with odfWeave 0.8.1.

Which versions were you using?
