[R-sig-Geo] rgeos: gOverlaps not working properly?

     ‘gOverlaps’ returns TRUE when the geometries share some but not
     all interior points, and the intersection has the same dimension
     as the geometries themselves.

Hence gOverlaps(A,A) == FALSE due to that 'but not all' part of the
documentation.
