[R] lattice: packet.number() versus panel.number()

[Benjamin Tyner]

Thanks David. It turns out that I was in fact using a custom index.perm,
but not on purpose. What happened was I used the "[" method on the
trellis object ( lattice:::`[.trellis`), which of course is nothing but
a short-cut for updating the index.perm. Lesson learned...

Regards,
Ben
