Inexplicable problem with title( )

[Mark.Hearnden@nt.gov.au]

Use S-Plus 6.1 in Windows XP - relatively inexperienced user.

Just recently, I have been getting the following error with any attempt to add a title to a plot (the plot works fine). Example below.

>#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> x <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
> y <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
> plot(x, y)
> title("test")
>#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning messages:
  wrong number of fields in entry(ies) 1 in: unpaste(dates., sep = fmt$sep,
        fnames = fmt$periods, nfields = 3)
Problem in convert.dates(dates., format = fmt, orig..: format m/d/y may be incorrect
 
Use traceback() to see the call stack



I have tried cleaning up my object lists, have done an installation "repair" and a complete installation overwrite and still get the message - and still get this message.

Any ideas at all? (Gratefully accepted)
