Greetings!
OS: Windows
R 2.0.1
Before anyone flames -- I tried to query this on the R searchable web site
and using google and did not find anything applicable.
As of about a week ago the help.search function dies when used in the simple
help.search("something") usage.
The error is
Error in rbind(...) : number of columns of matrices must match (see arg 203)
After some effort I have traced it down to the annotation packages. I
installed
GO, KEGG, mgu74[abc]v2 and hgu133plus2 all version 1.7.0
When I move these out of the library directory, help.search() functions
correctly again.
I have not tracked it any further -- just wanted to know if anyone else had
noticed it.

This happened to me in R 2.1.0 (I forget which specific version since I now have March 27th) on Windows XP which I traced to package dataRep. Once I removed that package help.search worked again.

This is the first we've heard of difficulties with the help system caused by the annotation data packages. + seth
