I believe this problem is already identified (after some gratuitous  
and inaccurate Mac bashing) on R-help. Non-ASCII characters were being  
input at the end of that command and Bill Dunlap showed you how that  
also happens with those characters entered there in a Linux session.  
What was not ever explained is how you were getting these junk  
characters in your input.

My browser displays the Nabble accessible version of this as four  
small boxes with numbers in them, while Mail.app refuses to display  
them and using the view source option on the Nabble page shows them as  
four empty boxes.

If you have an R source file that you want to process, I suggested  
using TextWrangler.app to "Zap Gremlins ..."
