R help - Feb 2007 - Suppressing \newcolumntype{} declaration in latex.default() in Hmisc

Dear r-helpers,

When use latex() on a matrix, I set the option dcolumn = T. As a  
result, in front of each tabular I get
\newcolumntype{.}{D{.}{.}{-1}}
The LaTeX compiler complains about these multiple redeclarations.

Dear r-helpers,

I didn't include a clear question in my previous posting. Here is a  
better version:

When I use latex() on a matrix, I set the option dcolumn = T. As a   
result, in the *.tex file before each tabular I get
\newcolumntype{.}{D{.}{.}{-1}}
The LaTeX compiler complains about these multiple redeclarations. Is  
there a way to suppress this?
