[R-sig-ME] Something broken in lme4 after update?

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

A little update. lme4_0.999375-27 works fine after installing
Matrix_0.999375-16 (CRAN) instead of Matrix_0.999375-17 (R-forge)

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to
say what the experiment died of.

Dear Douglas,

After updating the R packages I get on error when loading lme4. Error in
inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) : function
'cholmod_start' not provided by package 'Matrix' Error:
package/namespace load failed for 'lme4'

You'll find more detail below. This was run in a fresh R session. I have
lme4 version 0.999375-27 installed.
