If you have any insights, which might illuminate R-neophyte...
I would highly appreciate it.

Truly yours,

What version of R and dist is this?  The version in the current R
(package mva) does not include that line, and it works:
> o <- matrix(c(1:3, rep(0,3), 3*(1:3)),3)
> o
     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]    1    0    3
[2,]    2    0    6
[3,]    3    0    9
> dist(o)
         1        2
2 3.162278
3 6.324555 3.162278

Try
> conflicts("dist")
