[R] Potencial bug in R.adjust ("holm" method)

   Hello all,
   I am doing some Bonferroni correction analyses with R.adjust function. I have a spreadsheet with 24 columns, each with 5 values. When I use the "holm" method, it gives me adjusted figures for all the original values except from the ones in the 4th row of each column. I mean, the value on the 4th row for every column is exactly the same either in the original data or in the corrected one.   I've tried using another algorithm just to see what happens ("bonferroni", for example) and everything is fine, I get corrected figures for all the values, even the ones on the 4th row.

   Does anyone know whether this is any kind of known bug of the "holm" algorithm of P.adjust function. If so, should I worry about it? If so, can anybody suggest any possible solution?
   Thank you very much.
   Iker
