[R-sig-Geo] spplot error with rasterStack

[Matt Landis]

Hello all,

I am tempted to use spplot with a RasterStack, but for some reason, I
keep getting an error.  Maybe someone out there has experienced the
same thing?  See below.

st <- created from 9 IMG files

is successful.

I am able to run the example in the spplot raster documentation with no errors.

> r <- raster(system.file("external/test.grd", package="raster"))
> s <- stack(r, r*2)
> layerNames(s) <- c('meuse', 'meuse x 2')
>
> spplot(s)

I am running on Windows Server 2008 R2, plus...
