I know (see my post), "few weeks back" is the key here!

Please, please, do visit CRAN! This issue has been fixed, it's just a  
matter of downloading the correct version from CRAN!

Once again: Leopard users, please go to the CRAN page and download the  
latest R version from CRAN (the file is R-2.6-branch-43408.dmg). In  
fact I do recommend the update to Tiger users as well, because there  
were several speed optimizations since the R 2.6.0 release.

Thanks,
Simon
