[R] duplicated rows of a matrix

duplicated(x), for vector or matrix x, flags any value (row for
matrices) previously seen in x.  To flag all duplicated values (rows
for matrices) you can use the following allDups() function.

   allDups <- function(x) duplicated(x) | duplicated(x, fromLast=TRUE)

Don't you want row 1 also, since rows 1 and 8 contain c(1,11)?  Or I
am again misinterpreting what you want?
