R help - Jun 2005 - ts.intersect a multivariate and univariate ts

This seems like a FAQ, but I can't figure it out.

I have a mv ts object:

R > tsp(pg)
[1] 1982 2003    1
R > dim(pg)
[1] 22 12

and a univariate ts:

R > tsp(rw)
[1] 1690 1996    1

Yet, when I try to intersect them:

R > tsp(ts.intersect(rw, pg))
[1] 1982 2176    1

the process goes awry.

How to I get rw and pg to be one ts that runs from 1982 to 1996 and has 13
univariate time series in it. Any help appreciated.

Providing a reproducible example would be a first step...

For me the following works without any problems:

R> pg <- ts(matrix(rnorm(22 * 12), ncol = 12), start = 1982)
R> rw <- ts(rnorm(307), start = 1690)
R> tsp(pg)
[1] 1982 2003    1
R> dim(pg)
[1] 22 12
R> tsp(rw)
[1] 1690 1996    1
R> rwpg <- ts.intersect(rw, pg)
R> tsp(rwpg)
[1] 1982 1996    1
R> dim(rwpg)
[1] 15 13

Best,
