R help - Dec 2005 - fSeries: garchOxFit - is really the example provided not runnig?

Dear R-helpers,
   
  I have just loaded the fSeries package and I wanted to run the example
provided in the documentation of garchOxFit but I got the following:
   
  > library(fSeries)
> ?garchOxFit
> library(datasets)
> ?garchOxFit
>    ## Not run:
>      ## garchOxFit -
>         # Load Benchmark Data Set:
>         data(dem2gbp)
>         x = dem2gbp[, 1]
>         # Fit GARCH(1,1):
>         garchOxFit(formula.mean = ~arma(0,0), formula.var = ~garch(1,1))
Error in system(command, show.output.on.console = trace, invisible = TRUE) :
        unused argument(s) (show.output.on.console ...)
>      ## End(Not run)
   
  Does "## Not run:" means the example does not work?
  Has anybody experienced the same problem? 
  Or may you easly see where am I wrong?
   
  Thanks in advance and regards, 
  Julio

Both "show.output.on.console" and "invisible" are Windows
only arguments
of system(). This is a bug in the package that needs to be reported to 
the package maintainer, Diethelm Wuertz (CCing).

It means that the package meintainer decided not to run this part of the 
examples by R CMD check, hence it is unchecked (and nobody traced the 
bug before).
