Unless there is a good reason to use the read.dbf() implementation in 
spsurvey, you might prefer to choose the one in the foreign package 
(recommended package, present in all R installations). Although it is 
shapelib-based, it has been strengthened somewhat by Prof. Ripley (adding 
date representation handling), and is pretty robust.
