Looks like a bug in R's help server.  If you look at the Extra
documentation link, you'll see something like this:

http://127.0.0.1:16447/library/traj/doc/index.html

That link gives a blank page.  If you manually take away the index.html
part and give this:

http://127.0.0.1:16447/library/traj/doc

it works fine.  I'll take a look into this.
