[R-sig-Geo] readVECT6 error in spgrass6 (CVS version)

[William McCoy]

I am trying to duplicate the example of T. Hengl given in his message of 
  2 Apr 2009 regarding "Running analysis on DEMs using GRASS (from R?)". 
  I have retrieved the latest CVS version (as of last night) of spgrass6 
(v. 0.6-5).  I am running on a 32-bit Intel Fedora 10 system.

Everything seems to work up until the point that I try to import the 
streamt vector file into R:

 > streamt <- readVECT6("streamt")
Error in readOGR(dsn, layer = "1", verbose = !ignore.stderr, pointDropZ 
= pointDropZ) :
   unused argument(s) (pointDropZ = FALSE)

Apparently readOGR has no "pointDropZ" argument and the rgdal 
documentation seems to confirm this.  Is this a bug in this CVS version 
of spgrass6?

Here is my sessionInfo():
