importing explicitly declared missing values in read.spss (foreign)
There is a problem when importing an spss-file containing explicitly declared
missing values in R using the read.spss function from the foreign package.
I'm not sure these problems are the same in every version of spss, I am
using the latest version 16.0.2.

re ad.spss (foreign) conflict with SPSS 17 files.
SPSS seems to have changed its default datafile format, resulting in issues
for read.spss(). In Windows this results in a warning, in Debian the import
completely fails:

read.spss doesn't work anymore
A couple of months ago, probably using an older version of R, R used to
run the following code just fine:

data.exp1 <- as.data.frame(read.spss("dataDef.sav"))
Issuing the same commands now (after starting R using --vanilla), gives
me the following behavior:

Using SPSS Labels
I am trying to import a SPSS.sav file into R. The attached file is not
technically the file I am trying to import, but does replicate my
problem. The actual file is much too large to attach. No matter what I
do, I can not get R (base or Hmisc) to apply the value labels in
the .sav file to the dataframe created in R. Here's the code that I am
using.

read.spss Error reading system-file header
Is there any documentation on what kind of SPSS file can and cannot be
read by read.spss? Alternatively, how can one modify or "clean" an SPSS
file to make it readable by read.spss? What properties must a *.sav file

The file in this example is 270KB, with 5 rows and 173 columns. I have no
trouble reading larger files with read.spss, so it's not
